Rumor: Overwatch Anniversary Skins Leak Ahead Of Tomorrow's Event
Almost as if it has become standard procedure before every Overwatch event, the skins and other cosmetic items for the upcoming anniversary event have leaked the day before release. This time, the leak comes from an issue with a Taiwanese server of the game causing the content to go live a day early. In the time it was up, screens were captured of the upcoming skins from the second anniversary event. This year, the options available have a much wider range than the original event, with Sherlock Holmes Mcree and Tuxedo Doomfist offering some stranger choices for players.
The event starts tomorrow May 22 and will last until June 12, and logging in at any point during that time will net players a lootbox with a guaranteed legendary item. On top of that, there will be returning brawls, a new map, and the ability to earn items from past holiday events.

Our Take:
Once again, Blizzard has pulled me back to Overwatch just when I thought I could take a break. Brigitte and Mcree's new skins alone have me ready to jump in and earn as many lootboxes as possible. It is unfortunate to always see the events spoiled by leaks, but that won't stop players from partaking.
