Overwatch: Three remix events initiate the transition to the second part

There will be no more new content for Overwatch 1. The next three season events, which usually brought new skins, game modes and the like, will be replaced with remix events in which missed, sometimes previously time-limited content can be collected – to then be taken to part 2.

Season events are replaced by remix events

Blizzard's announcement can basically be understood as the beginning of the transition from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2. Although the first part will still be playable after the release of the second, the developers are already turning their backs on it. After hardly any new content was added at the last seasonal event, the next three events will have to do without any new content at all.

Almost at least, because with each of the three spectacles now called Anniversary Remix, six popular skins are added in a new color scheme. In addition, all non-limited cosmetic content will be offered during all three events and a total of three previously limited skins can be earned per three-week event. Nano D.Va, Bastet-Ana and Field Medic Baptiste are the first. In addition, all previous event game modes will be available in daily rotation.

Bridging the dry spell until Overwatch 2

This should give players the opportunity to experience any content or game modes they may have missed from the last six years for the first time or again and to complete their own collection before Overwatch 2 appears. Blizzard had previously indicated that all of the cosmetic content of the first part could be transferred to the second part, which is crossplay-compatible anyway. Since a total of three remix events are planned, which consequently replace the previously held events Archives, Anniversary and Summer Games; but there is no mention of the Halloween event, the release date of the second part can probably be limited to autumn of this year – but that is not official yet.

It has started first of the three remix events last night, it will run until April 26, 2022. It thus follows seamlessly from the then starting closed PVP beta of the second part, for which interested parties can still register online.

As already suspected, the PVP beta for Overwatch 2, which ends on Tuesday, will be followed seamlessly by the second remix event in Overwatch 1. From May 17th to June 7th, 2022, three formerly time-limited skins will again be available in weekly challenges. Apart from some new color schemes for popular skins, there will again be no new content.
