Overwatch is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month and Blizzard has revealed a special in-game event players can look forward to as well as all the various loot boxes and rewards that will be available. It's been a long and winding road for Overwatch over these past 10 years, with plenty of ups and downs for the popular hero shooter.
In fact, Overwatch went through its biggest transformation yet in 2026. Many would argue that Blizzard lost its way a bit by ending the original Overwatch and replacing it with a dedicated sequel, the studio eventually found its footing and continued to improve the game before unleashing its biggest update yet. In February, Blizzard announced a massive overhaul for Overwatch by dropping the "2" from the title and completely reworking the narrative element of the game. In addition to many other enhancements and changes, Blizzard released 5 new heroes for Season 1, with an additional 5 set to launch over the rest of the year. Not only was it a major splash, but it paid off as Overwatch hit new levels of popularity.
With Overwatch delivering win after win lately, it’s easier than ever to picture a world...
