Maybe the fact that these are just recolors?

People literally begged for the Overwatch Team to try something new with events instead of just doing the same ones, and now they’re trying something that I think is at least a cool idea, and people complain that they want their old events back. Not to say you can’t criticize this, but this is the team trying to listen to what people wanted.
And, before anyone comments that they wanted completely new events instead, that’s just unrealistic at the moment.

I don’t speak for Blizzard, but I would temper your expectations on if this specific skin returns or not. That was originally a BlizzCon skin which had fine print saying it would return in a future promotion (which it did for Halloween Terror 2019). However, considering it is a labeled as a “Special” collection item and not a “Halloween Terror” item, that one may not return.

Looks like mercy is gettin a remix skin :slight_smile:

As a new player I was really looking forward to Archives, so while I find it slightly interesting, yes I am quite disappointed that Archives is not happening this year. It was my most anticipated event other than Anniversary.

Will the Zarya Alien Skin return since it is not OWL related anymore? Is there any plans of the skin to be released again? Thanks!

The new Overwatch X Prime gaiming campaing plus this new open vault and get what you missed in the past years (lke Nano cola Dva, Dr Ziegler, etc) are aiming for people returning overwatch who stopped playing since brig launch, role que, cross play, etc; who missed some good seasonal events.
For people who trusted the game and keep playing nonstop well, youll get Little Red ashe blue recolor or so.

I am sorry but this is really disappointing. No new Epic skins and Legendary skins that are probably just a recolors. No content becomes even bigger no content.

Ofc some of us will be disappointed when the “new” skins are just re-colors of older ones, like what?? When they said they were going to give us more legendary skins that ever i bet no one expected this?!?! And fave legendary skins? Now i already have pink mercy but that skin is literally so popular and they aren’t even going to bring that skin back???

Yikes.

What is new about this tho? Instead of Archives, Summer Games and Anniversary we are getting Anivversary 3 times in a row with a bunch of recolors. Great new content.

This is unfortunate. I’d rather have “sorry no new skins” for archives than a “sorry, archives isn’t happening this year”. The event is coded and ready, just let us play it same as last year please.

Well, that is sad, tbh

You’ll still get to play the PvE missions from archives in the event, so that kinda fixes it ( unless you’re playing archives not for the PvE, but who is?).

Somebody wake me up when we get the missing lore Zenyatta skin. :sleeping:

And something that is not the desaturated OW2 skin.

So you mean recolors of popular skins?

OW 2Has been the forefront for the last 3 years

Think of it this way: With all the BS Blizz and their teams have been under, especially the OW team with their blunder with Kotick placing a monkey wrench in OW2, I can be grateful that they’re doing anything at all with the OW2 beta approaching.

Who knows? The recolors of certain skins might be cool. If they need to allocate more time to OW2 by doing this, then this is the way to go.
