Overwatch’s annual Archives event is now live in all versions of the game, giving players a chance to revisit the game’s cooperative PvE campaign missions and earn new skins. While there isn’t a new Archives mission for this year’s edition of the seasonal event, there are new weekly variations on the existing missions: Uprising, Retribution, and Storm Rising.
Just as important are eight new skins for Overwatch’s heroes. There are five new legendary skins, including fresh looks for Ana, Junkrat, Pharah, and Zarya, and three epic skins for Mei, Symmetra, and Torbjörn. You can see some of those skins (and new sprays) in the gallery below.
The new Archives epic skins can be earned through gameplay. As with previous events, players can unlock new epic skins on a weekly basis by winning games across Overwatch’s various gametypes.
Overwatch Archives 2020 runs from March 12 to April 2. Details on new challenge missions and unlockable epic skins are below.
