Go get them Loot Boxes.

Posted By | On 24th, May. 2017

Blizzard Entertainment’s newest event for Overwatch, celebrating its one year anniversary, is now live. It offers new cosmetics such as voice lines, skins, sprays, emotes and much more.

To be more specific, the emotes include new dances for each character (like Tracer doing the Charleston), which can be seen briefly in the video below. Select characters have received highly requested sitting emotes like Sombra and Orisa while Reaper has the “shrug” emote from the Uprising comic.

The event also introduces new Arena maps for 1v1 and 3v3 game modes. These are Necropolis, Ana’s personal hideout; Castillo, an old fort overlooking Dorado and where Sombra’s hacking den is; and Black Forest, a dreary place on the outskirts of Eichenwalde.

Overwatch’s Anniversary Event will take place till June 12th and there will be a free weekend from May 26th to 29th. What are your thoughts on the new event and cosmetics? Let us know below.
