The Overwatch Anniversary is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 21 at 2PM EDT. The event is set to run until June 10, ending at roughly the same time of 2PM EDT.

The Overwatch Anniversary will feature all-new skins, dances, sprays, and other cosmetic items. Seasonal cosmetics from previous events will all be made available during the Overwatch Anniversary period. In addition to that, players can expect to see six new Legendary skins, three epic skins, and dance emotes for the new characters introduced since last year's Overwatch Anniversary: Baptiste, Ashe, and Wrecking Ball.

Previous seasonal brawls will return and be accessible via the Arcade mode. Different brawls will rotate in and out on a daily basis, including last month's Overwatch Archives: Storm Rising PvE content.
