The Overwatch Anniversary 2018 event is here, celebrating the second year since the game’s release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 24, 2016.
Blizzard is releasing 11 new skins for the Overwatch Anniversary event this year, three of which are Epic-rated and eight that are considered legendary. Regardless of their rarity ranking, all of the new Overwatch skins are really good. Images and video of the skins leaked out early when Overwatch players found a way to access the event ahead of time. None of the skins will be a surprise, but that doesn’t make them any less good.
Here are all the skins released with the Overwatch Anniversary event.
Stealth Bastion
Stealth Bastion is a legendary Overwatch skin that costs 3,000 credits. The new skin gives him a mecha, almost Transformer-like look which extends to his shoulder bird, too.
Shieldmaiden Brigitte
Shieldmaiden Brigitte is a legendary Overwatch skin that costs 3,000 credits. With long blonde braids and a bear head slung over her shoulder, Shieldmaiden Brigitte looks ready to smash anything and everything.
Formal Doomfist
Formal Doomfist is a legendary Overwatch skin that costs 3,000 credits. This iteration of Doomfist has been on everyone’s mind since we saw the get-up in an Overwatch comic. Damn, Doomfist… looking good.
Buccaneer Junkrat

Cybjörn
