Overwatch Anniversary 2020: 5 Reasons to Be Excited

Overwatch Anniversary 2020 should be an exciting event, as Blizzard's flagship title will be celebrating its fourth anniversary next month. Here are five reasons to be excited for it.

Overwatch Anniversary 2020: 5 Reasons to Be Excited

1. Echo's First Event

The Overwatch Anniversary event will be Echo's first event since being introduced to the game. It would be a major blindside if she does not get a legendary skin and a Play of the Game cinematic, so those who were excited about Echo's introduction to the game will be even more thrilled to see what Blizzard will give the new hero in the Anniversary event.

2. New Skins

As always, the Overwatch Anniversary event will bring some new skins for heroes. New skins are one of the most exciting things about the game anyway, so it's obvious that this is at the top of the list of things everyone is excited for. Like with Echo, Baptiste and Sigma should get some legendary skins.

3. The Brawls May Be Back

Last year's Anniversary event brought back every other events seasonal brawl each day in the arcade and it will likely happen again this time around. If not, we may be in for a fun game mode.

4. It's the Last Anniversary Event Before Overwatch 2

It would be surprising to see Blizzard flop on their final Anniversary event before Overwatch 2, so expect this one to be the biggest so far. Whether it's crazy skins or really anything else, players are sure excited for what this event will bring.

5. New Lore

Some new skins brought in with the Anniversary event can give players an expanded take on each character. D.Va's schoolgirl outfit last year made it obvious what her age is. Also, some voice lines or sprays can bring in some new lore or point to some upcoming lore. An example of this is when Baptiste had a spray involving Mauga, a hero that will be coming to Overwatch 2. In whatever way, no matter how small, there will be new lore in the Overwatch Anniversary event.
