The next Overwatch event “Uprising” will be different from last year. There are many new missions – and of course new skins.
Fans are eagerly waiting for the next big in-game event from Overwatch. According to the calendar, the next event is the “Uprising” event, which was called “Aufstand” in German – but this year it will be a different event. As the developers announced in a “Developer Update,” this time the event will be called “Archives.”
The reason for this is simple: the “Uprising” of King’s Row was merely an important event in Overwatch’s past. During the “Archives” event, however, several events from the past can be replayed! This probably means that there will be more PvE content for Overwatch that players can enjoy in the “Archives” event from April 10 to April 30.
Concrete information about the new missions and their number is not yet available. The developers want to reveal these in the coming days.
The new cosmetics have also only been teased so far; there is supposed to be a new skin for your “favorite Shimada brother” – whether this refers to Genji or Hanzo is still open by the developers. It could of course also mean that both Hanzo and Genji will get a new skin.
However, the popular Uprising map from last year will also be back, and in both modes. Either in the “Story Mode” with the designated characters (Reinhardt, Mercy, Tracer, and Torbjörn) or in the chaos variant, where everyone can control a hero of their choice.
Are you looking forward to the Archives? Do you want more PvE missions in Overwatch? Or should the developers focus more on the “real” game and thus on PvP?
The developers have teased a bit already – it might be about Blackwatch action!
