Overwatch is trying to make up for a lacking 10th anniversary event with its signature move: throwing loot boxes at fans. But director Aaron Keller also promises that future updates will include more celebratory goodies since Blizzard Entertainment wants “this entire year to feel like a celebration.”
Overwatch players absolutely roasted the new three-week 10th anniversary event that promised a “legendarily good time” but ended up offering 15 Anniversary Loot Boxes containing purple-and-white recolored skins for the original Overwatch line-up, as well as new name cards, player icons, and spray tags.
“Hey all. We’ve been reading and watching reactions to the anniversary event this week, and they’re fair. Ten years of Overwatch is a huge milestone, and we want this entire year to feel like a celebration of Overwatch,” Keller says in a recent tweet.
For now, I hope you like a side of loot box with your loot boxes. “For Weeks 2 and 3 of this Anniversary event we’re increasing the number of community loot boxes: doubling in Week 2 and tripling in Week 3,” Keller says. “And reducing the total number of games to earn all 15 Anniversary Loot Boxes to 60 (wins count as double).”
Overwatch Season 3 should also have a different season-long event with “even more rewards.” Keller leaves off by saying he understands that “ future rewards don’t make this specific event bigger, but I hope it gives some context for how we’re thinking about this year as a whole.”
