The action of Overwatch. takes place in a technologically advanced, highly stylized future earth. In a time of global crisis, an international task force of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities known as Overwatch had come together to restore peace to a war-torn world. After many years, the group’s influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded. Overwatch might be gone now . . . but the world still needs heroes.

With an emphasis on accessibility and pure fun, Overwatch. brings Blizzard’s signature easy-to-learn, hard-to-master gameplay to the FPS genre. Harnessing the power of their hero of choice, players will join forces in teams of six and battle each other across a range of futuristic global locations, from the hologram-lit streets of London to a bazaar in the shadows of a high-tech Egyptian pyramid. Every battlefield is iconic and built to highlight each character’s unique abilities, and fights can shift from streets to rooftops to open skies within the span of a breath.

While each hero represents a formidable force on their own, players can amplify their potential by assembling into a well-balanced team and creatively combining powers. No matter which hero or playstyle they prefer, players will be able to team up and accomplish the incredible in Overwatch.

As players compete in matches—win or lose—they’ll level up and earn Loot Boxes, each containing a combination of four items players can use to customize their heroes, including in-game credits and cosmetic goodies including skins, sprays, voice lines, and new animations. Among these items are legendary skins that dramatically alter heroes’ appearances, such as the post-apocalyptic Scavenger D.Va, or Lone Wolf Hanzo, which fills Overwatch’s expert bowman with the spirit of the wild.

Play a part in history in Overwatch Archives, a seasonal event that brings back last year’s Uprising mission and introduces a new PvE co-op mission, Retribution. More than 160 Archives Loot Box items will be available to unlock during the event, including items from last year’s Overwatch Uprising event along with 8 new Legendary skins.

The all-new Retribution mission gives players a chance to return to the past and experience a critical Blackwatch operation that ultimately led to the fall of Overwatch. Taking place in Venice prior to the events of Uprising, Retribution casts players as Blackwatch members McCree, Moira, Genji, and Reyes (before he became Reaper) in pursuit a high-ranking member of the Talon organization.

In Story Mode, players must fight the forces of Talon in the streets of Venice as the four agents of Blackwatch, teaming up and relying on their distinct abilities to battle their way to an extraction point. In All Heroes Mode, players can bring the hero of their choice into the mission, engaging in dynamic encounters with foes that spawn in different locations each playthrough. Can you master the highest level of difficultly?

The Retribution event takes place on the upcoming Escort map, Rialto. On this map, players must team up to guide the payload along the canals and cobblestone streets of Venice. Rialto will be available for testing soon on the PTR.

In addition to Retribution, Overwatch Archives will also include the previous year’s Uprising brawl, as well as over 100+ cosmetic items.

Overwatch Archives will be available from April 10th-30th on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
