Overwatch Is Now Free-To-Play For A Limited Time Only

Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch Archive Events: Storm Rising has begun. The event blasts you back to the past, six years before the start of the actual Overwatch game. It follows the stories of Tracer, Mercy, Winston, and Genji as they try to bring down Talon, the international terrorist organization, but end up facing a much bigger enemy.

If you haven’t tried Overwatch yet, now would be the perfect chance. Blizzard has made Overwatch free-to-play until April 23. Aside from the new mode Storm Rising, the previous modes, Uprising and Retribution, are back for a limited time only bringing with them a total of more than 160 new cosmetics. This also includes full access to the game, including all 30 heroes like the new combat medic Baptiste. All 27 maps in all game modes are also included. All the modes will be available until May 6. Be sure to find loot boxes and earn skins because you can keep them all if you decide to purchase Overwatch after the trial period. All the progress you made will be saved.
