Everyone is excited about the new rewards coming with the second anniversary, but Blizzard is excited about the success of managing to grasp over 40 million platforms. Overwatch is one of those games that will keep you pulling back in after receiving new content, and there’s no way to deny that.
Overwatch’s director Jeff Kaplan has announced this in a developer update, claiming that Overwatch surpassed 40 million players across all platforms. That being said, is there going to be any bonus with the second year anniversary content?
According to Jeff Kaplan, there’s a lot of upcoming special stuff thanks to this year’s anniversary event, and one of the cruel champions, Doomfist may get his legendary skin. The second-anniversary event will kick off on May 22, bringing more old content and cosmetic items to the game.
Blizzard has already begun discovering some of the coming items on Overwatch’s official Twitter account.
