As Overwatch 2 approaches its second anniversary on October 4, fans can anticipate an exciting three-week event starting on September 24. This celebration will feature the return of beloved game modes, including both PvP and PvE experiences, offering players a variety of challenges and rewards. The event will showcase different game modes each week to keep things fresh and engaging for players.
Week 1 of the anniversary event, from September 24-30, will feature the return of Beast Hunt and Community Crafted game modes. Week 2, from October 1-7, will bring back April Fools 2024 and Cosmic Crisis modes. Finally, Week 3, from October 8-14, will showcase Mirrorwatch and Prop Hunt. These iconic game modes have been fan favorites over the past year and will provide players with a nostalgic and enjoyable experience.
In addition to the exciting game modes, players can look forward to earning event-specific rewards during the anniversary celebration. While details are still a mystery, past anniversary events have offered players in-game cosmetics, Battle Pass experience, and Overwatch Credits as rewards. Players are encouraged to save their credits in anticipation of potential rewards in the Anniversary Store.
Moreover, Overwatch 2 players can also participate in the ongoing crossover event with World of Warcraft. This event runs through the end of September and offers players the opportunity to earn exclusive sprays, name cards, titles, and experience by completing in-game challenges. This crossover event adds an extra layer of excitement for players to enjoy.
After the anniversary event concludes, players can gear up for the launch of Season 13 on October 15. It is uncertain if the start of the new season will coincide with the final week of the anniversary celebration, but Overwatch 2 promises to have plenty in store for its dedicated player base in the coming month. Fans can expect more announcements and surprises as the anniversary celebration continues.
