Join the Party

It’s time to grab your gilded weapons and put on your party skins–the sixth anniversary of Overwatch has arrived!

To celebrate the occasion, we’re unlocking the skin vault and bringing back six limited looks that you might have missed out on–with an exclusive twist. Your second chance to secure these skins has arrived; unlock elegant new variants of past Legendaries like Oni Genji, Nevermore Reaper, Witch Mercy, and more.

Kick It Back, Summer-Style

Summer Games brawls will be available to play in the Arcade on April 5, April 12, April 19, and April 26.

Lúcioball

Lúcioball, Overwatch’s futuristic spin on soccer, is back! Team up to book the ball into the opponent’s goal. The team that scores the most points before time runs out wins the game.

Lúcioball Remix

We’re kicking a curveball your way with Lúcioball Remix! In this faster, more chaotic version of Lúcioball, two balls are in play the entire time and bonus balls worth extra points will periodically spawn around the arena. Be quick on your feet and net more goals than your opponents to win!

Get Ready to Get Scared

Halloween Terror brawls will be available to play in the Arcade on April 6, April 13, and April 20.

Junkenstein's Revenge

Team up with three other players to defend Adlersbrunn from a host of haunting horrors, including Junkenstein and his Monster, the mysterious Summoner, the bloodthirsty Reaper, and the devious Witch of the Wilds.

Junkenstein's Endless

Hold your ground with your compatriots as an unending slew of monstrosities lays siege to Adlersbrunn. How long will you last before you succumb to the horrors of Junkenstein?

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Halloween Terror Challenge Mission brawls will be available to play in the Arcade on April 7, April 14, and April 21.

Vengeful Ghost

A deadly ghost chases players.

Volatile Zomnics

Zomnics explode near players.

Heroes periodically randomize.

Frenzied Stampede

Zomnics move faster.

Three They Were

Only three players, but they deal more damage.

Shocking Surprise

Some enemies spawn Shock-Tires on death.

Winter Is Snow Much Fun!

Winter Wonderland brawls will be available to play in the Arcade on April 8, April 15, and April 22.

Snowball Deathmatch

In this eight-person free-for-all brawl, players can store up to three lethal snowballs in Mei’s blaster, giving them multiple chances to ice the competition before having to reload.

Mei's Snowball Offensive

Team up to ice over your enemies! In this 6v6 brawl, everyone plays as Mei, and her endothermic blaster has been modified to fire a single, super-powered snowball. Taking down an enemy only requires one hit, but a miss can be costly!

Yeti Hunter

This 6-player brawl sets five Meis against one Yeti who uses Winston’s abilities. The Yeti must survive long enough to eliminate enemy Meis before they take him down. Which side will emerge from the snowstorm victorious?

Freezethaw Elimination

Get ready to freeze your foes in this 4v4 brawl! Instead of dying, players will be frozen solid in blocks of ice that their teammates can thaw. Freeze everyone on the enemy team to secure a win, but watch out—a defrosted foe might turn the tables and put you on ice instead.

Ring in the Festivities

Lunar New Year brawls will be available to play in the Arcade on April 9, April 16, and April 23.

Capture the Flag

In Capture the Flag, each team attempts to secure the enemy flag and return it to their base while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. Determined players can try Competitive Capture the Flag, which includes placement matches, leaderboards, and Competitive Points!

Capture the Flag Blitz

With both teams’ flags much closer together, six captures are now needed to win the match instead of the traditional three. Launch an all-out offensive against the enemy to snatch their flag as many times as possible.

Bounty Hunter

Rack up points as you claim bounties in this rowdy brawl. The player who gets the first kill of the match becomes a Target, and everyone else a Bounty Hunter. Earn extra points by killing the Target, but beware—if you land the killing blow on a Target, you become the next one.

Relive Past Missions

Overwatch Archives Missions will be available to play in the Arcade on April 10, April 17, and April 24.

Uprising (Story)

Journey seven years into the past and join an Overwatch strike team fighting through the streets of King’s Row to quell an uprising led by Null Sector. Team up with your friends and play as Tracer, Torbjörn, Reinhardt, or Mercy to defeat the robots and liberate the city.
