THE PLAGUE DOCTOR RECOLOR SKIN
This is Remixed version of Reaper’s iconic purple Nevermore skin (and, by extension, the Plague Doctor skin).
1 ran from April 5-26, you’re still able to earn the Remixed skins during Volumes 2 and 3 of the event.
So which skins, exactly, are being remixed, and how do they rate on the Coolness Scale™? And (arguably) more importantly, is this a good strategy for keeping events exciting and fun?Īll the Remixed skins for Overwatch’s Anniversary Remix Vol. Of course, at the end of the day, a big part of this is being done in the name of allocating more resources to the upcoming Overwatch 2 PVP beta. At the moment, the three-part Anniversary event will occur in place of what are normally Archives (now), the standard Anniversary (early May), and Summer Games (July/August), though likely without the long break in between those last two. These spins on classic holidays are part of a “three-part anniversary event” and will be aptly named “Remix” events. Namely, rather than getting the usual round of brand-new skins and event-specific Brawls, we’ll be getting recolored versions of some fan-favorite Legendary skins, the return of a few weekly-challenge skins, and rotating Brawls from across all standard events.
In an unexpected twist of fate, Overwatch’s next few holiday events will be taking on a slightly different format than in the past.
