No more Summer Games for regular Overwatch?

hi I just got back into playing Overwatch and I am excited for Overwatch 2… but just out of curiosity, did they announce no more events for regular Overwatch until its just Overwatch 2 or?

Because it should be going on so we can unlock skins we have saved for.

Yep

Community Update - 2022 in-game events (retail)

Hiya folks, With today’s tease of the Overwatch Anniversary Remix 1 event, we wanted to talk about what you can expect from Remix events, and what this means for popular in-game events like Archives, Summer Games, and Anniversary in the lead-up to Overwatch 2. Like standard Anniversary events, Remix events will throw open the vault doors, allowing you to unlock every skin normally available during these events, plus all new “remixed” Legendary skins.

The remix events are just events that unlock all skins for all events. You can buy any of the thematic skins you want, including summer games.

Basically they announced after LNY that the next 3 events would instead be remix events.

Honestly at the time we should have assumed that meant OW2 would release in October (everyone knew or should have known the MP would release that year already by that point) but I do not think anyone on here put 2 and 2 together to say it would be ready that fast.
