Take a Step Back Through Time with the Overwatch Archives Event

The limited time Archives Event is here, but time is quickly running out to take advantage of it! This event sees new skins, victory poses, and more - as well as the return of previously available limited time Archives items.

The featured collections, as always, are character skins. In addition to the event skins from previous years, this year's Archives events brings new skins to your favorite characters, including a snazzy trio of skins for Tracer, Soldier 76, and Widowmaker. The cavalry is here, and so are the Three Musketeers!

To earn these limited time items and receive Archives loot boxes, you'll need to put your skills to the test with the new Event Missions. These Epic Story Missions take you back in time to Tracer's first mission in Uprising, join Blackwatch and hunt down one of Talon's highest ranking members in Retribution, and pursue the devious entrepreneur Maximilien through the streets of Havana in Storm Rising.

Each mode offers a story mission with set characters to play as, but you can still bring your favorite heroes into the fray with All Heroes mode. However you choose to play, your first victory on each mode will reward you with an Archives Event Lootbox, guaranteeing you some highly sought goodies.

This week also offers the weekly mission to acquire the Epic Camouflage Mercy skin. By participating in the weekly challenges, you'll earn points, each one bringing you closer to scoring the Epic skin. There's only a couple days left for this Archives Event, so to make sure you acquire all of this years Archives items, you'll want to act fast before the event ends on April 27th.
