Blizzard has announced a new Overwatch event that lets players earn cosmetics they will eventually be able to use in Overwatch 2. The Overwatch Anniversary Remix: Volume 1 event is the first of three such Remix events on tap for 2022, and each will have new versions of previously released legendary skins.
