Holy crap nice!!

 

[antitrop]

It's been a great year. I went from not caring about it at all to putting in over 1,000 hours and playing almost daily.

 

[rikichi]

Can't wait for the anniversary event!

 

[Gaspard]

Right after the HotS promotion :'D

 

[Red Rudolph]

Been a good first year. Really hard to fault this game, even from someone who doesn't really play shooters much. Just well-polished in almost every aspect. Glad to see it doing so well.

 

[TP]

So it does end up being 3 weeks

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Shoutouts to low cost cosplay

 

[AlexFlame116]

I legit teared up at watching this. Such an awesome game and this is coming from someone who did not care for it at all until I tried the beta on a whim.

I'm so glad I took the plunge.

 

[Marcel]

I can't wait to get my Anniversary 3 whites and 1 blue loot box!

 

[DNAbro]

Cool video but what does the celebration actually entail?

 

[The Last Wizard]

Couldn't even give us a tease of skins, I mean god damn.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Best game

 

[Psychoward]

Just in time to not get the 10 event loot boxes!

Edit: hahaha omg no way they pushed back the date too to end at june 12

 

[bender]

Starts on my birthday which will make me feel less guilty about buying 50 loot boxes.

 

[spindashing]

Lmao, I was somehow hoping I could use the 10 lootboxes on this

 

[MKIL65]

Not enough ''I NEED HEALING'' memes in that video.

 

[Ricerocket]

Huh, video reveals what they've done so far but no info on what the anniversary event is.

Or I guess it could be all the events from year 1 combined.

 

[I-hate-u]

Probably the greatest character designs since SF2, and still going strong. Awesome game and congrats for the success, Blizzard.

Now, where's my legendary Ana and Pharah skins?

PLAY OVERWATCH® FREE MAY 26–29 ON PC, PLAYSTATION® 4, AND XBOX ONE

Good timing on that one for the anniversary and the end of the hots event

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

What a year it's been.

I can unequivocally say that Overwatch is my favorite multiplayer game of all time. Blizzard created such a magical blend of mechanics, characters and atmosphere that keeps me coming back time and time again. Overwatch has become a pleasant constant in my life that I can always depend on.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I can't wait to get my Anniversary 3 whites and 1 blue loot box!

But hey every 20 or so lootboxes you get a legendary

Spoiler

for a hero you don't play, ever

 

[Obliterator]

Really nice little video there. Man I love this game. Congrats Blizzard and specifically the Overwatch Team on an amazing first year!!!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Fantastic game.

I love how casual it is, sometimes a good rest point inbetween games of R6S.

 

[Marcel]

But hey every 20 or so lootboxes you get a legendary

Spoiler

for a hero you don't play, ever

Spoiler

Or the color variant of a legendary skin you already have

 

[Kurdel]

Can't believe how this game just kept getting bigger.

All the success is deserved, such a great game.

 

[Psychoward]

Another timed event?

 

[RandomExpletive]

Oh thank god, it starts the day after my last finals

Excited to see what year 2 holds in store

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This comment got me.

lol

Or a duplicate or gold coins

6v6 random heroes can be a lot of fun once a week to earn the 3 free loot boxes.

 

[Woetyler]

May my wallet cry tears of joy.

 

[UnluckyKate]

amazing footage of the game going live in this.

 

[D3VI0US]

So what's the deal? Has it leaked yet if it is an Uprising style PVE event, or new game mode, new map, new hero, or just skins?

 

[The Last Wizard]

Another timed event?

All events will be timed, that's why they're events.

I gave up doing the weekly arcade games outside of events. Having to win 9 games of a non-competitive mode is anti-fun to me.

I totally agree with this.

 

[Strakt]

They better have all the hanzo skins in the world for this event

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I can't wait to get my Anniversary 3 whites and 1 blue loot box!

This is always my experience, I once opened 65 event boxes and didn't get the skin I wanted, while my friend got every single event skin (plus the skin I wanted 3x). My luck is unbelievably bad.

 

[KZXcellent]

Can't believe it's been a year. What an incredible game. Excited to drop big cash on boxes next week!

 

[Psychoward]

All events will be timed, that's why they're events.

They could make the cosmetics permanent since it's the 1 year anniversary tho

there's been 1 new skin (and a recolor for it) added to the game since it launched that hasn't been timed.

 

[JHall]

Overwatch is tied with Halo 2 and slightly above Destiny as the most fun online multiplayer game I've ever played.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

amazing footage of the game going live in this.

Sombra hacking that video at Blizzcon and the crowd reaction was amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB4_k3GqT4Y

Still gives me goosebumps.

 

[Imbarkus]

I've never had an online shooter I was still playing a year later. Except maybe Quake 3. Great job Blizzard!

 

[T.O.P]

What a great fuckin game and community <3

 

[Dougieflesh]

Almost time to drop $20 on lootboxes again.

 

[CaptNink]

Such a great game! I went from not giving a shit to absolutely loving everything Overwatch! So glad I gave this game a shot.

 

[bender]

I see random heroes as a nice break from competitive and it forces me to play characters outside of my comfort zone. RNG can be really frustrating though.

 

[xaosslug]

so, like, what is the event? Do we know what we're getting out of it?

 

[Rocketz]

Hype!

Here's to another year~

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What a great fuckin game and sometimes great community <3

Fixed.
