Overwatch’s Archives Event for 2021 is nearly here, and new skins are coming!
Every Overwatch seasonal event is headlined by its’ cosmetic offerings, and it looks like this year won’t disappoint.
Here’s all the latest Overwatch Archives 2021 skins as revealed by Blizzard, and the skins from previous years.
LATEST – Mousquetaire Widowmaker and Bushi Genji Skins Revealed
Overwatch Archives 2021 has already kicked off with some great reveals – including Mousquetaire Widowmaker and Bushi Genji.
Watch their skin trailers below:
Release Date Confirmed
Although we don’t get a look at any new skins yet, we do know when we’re expecting the 2021 Overwatch Archives Event to begin.
The event will run for three weeks from April 6th to April 27th and we are expecting all the previously included PvE LTMs to make a return.
New Skins
This is what we’re all here for, right? Limited-Time modes are fun, but the cosmetics stick with you long after the event.
Each new edition of a seasonal Overwatch event comes with a new batch of themed skins. That much we know.
Also, looking at the recent seasonal events, we should expect to see some Weekly Challenges like we did last year.

If we look at the numbers, then, we should see between four and six new skins in Loot Box drops and then three more as Weekly Challenge rewards.
Thus far, we’ve had two Overwatch Archives 2021 skin reveals – including Bushi Genji and Mousquetaire Widowmaker.
Returning Skins
Alongside the addition of a new batch of skins, Overwatch also brings all the old skins back during their limited-time events.
They can be unlocked via coins in the Hero Gallery, or in the event-themed Loot Boxes which replace the default Loot Boxes for the duration.
