Overwatch Anniversary Remix release date, time, skin updates, and more revealed

Every year, Blizzard Entertainment celebrates the anniversary of Overwatch by introducing different types of skins and cosmetics for the players to enjoy. The approach to this year's event will be a bit different where it will be held in three different phases instead of one.

A different approach was selected so that the developers can focus more on the sequel that will be released in the upcoming months. The first phase of the Anniversary Remix event will start on April 5, 2022 at 6:00 pm BST UK time, 10:30 pm IST, and 10 am PDT.

All details related to Overwatch Anniversary Remix Event 2022

Volume 1 Release date and time

Since Blizzard Entertainment's main focus is Overwatch 2 at present, the Anniversary Event of the 6v6 team-based action game will have a slightly different approach. Traditionally, all the Anniversary Events were celebrated in a single phase, but the Remix event will be celebrated in three volumes.

The first volume will start worldwide on April 5, 2022, with the local timings being different due to different time zones. It will have an end date of April 25, 2022. The timings are 6:00 pm BST UK time, 10:30 pm IST, 2:00 am JST, 1:00 pm EDT, and 10:00 am PDT.

Since the main focus is on the upcoming sequel at the moment, remixed versions of the Archives and Summer Games will be brought in instead.

What new content will be introduced in the Anniversary Remix event?

Multiple volumes and phases of the Anniversary Remix event will introduce a new set of variants in place of the normal event schedule. All skins and cosmetics obtained, along with all previously earned skins, sprays, and player icons, will be transferred to Overwatch 2 once it gets released.

The Anniversary Remix event will also mark the return of some fan-favorite brawls like Archives Missions, Lucio Ball, and Mei’s Snowball Challenge for the players to enjoy.

Since the Anniversary Remix event is the first of its kind, players will be allowed to unlock classic skins alongside the remixed versions of Legendary skins. They will also be able to unlock some mini-event skins after completing certain challenges.
