The Mission
Our sole mission is to help gamers play their best — at every level, in every game.
Overwatch Archives is the next seasonal event coming in 2022 to Blizzard’s hero shooter, once again allowing players to relive missions from Overwatch’s past, but what does it have in store for fans? Well, we can likely expect to see the return of some enjoyable PvE missions in the arcade, and with Overwatch 2 looking to push more PvE content, this could be a good time to get some extra practice in. For now, though, read on for everything you need to know about the Overwatch 2022 Archives event.
For the time being Blizzard has not formally announced whether the Overwatch Archives event is returning for 2022, but it seems pretty likely given the annual nature of the event previously. We also know that Blizzard usually release the event at the same time each year, which makes it easy to work out when the event could start. You can take a look at the table below to see the dates for when the event has previously started and ended. As you can see, the event has traditionally started in April every year, normally on a Tuesday. With this in mind, we suspect that the Overwatch Archives Event will start on April 5, 2022 , or potentially the week after on April 12.
As for a start time, typically Overwatch events begin at around 2pm ET/6pm GMT , so make sure to clear your diary if you fancy jumping into the event right away.
With every new Overwatch event Blizzard typically adds a variety of new cosmetics for players to collect, including sprays, emotes, victory poses and of course, brand new hero skins.
Whilst players love all sorts of cosmetics, it’s unquestionably the skins that fans desire most of all, and traditionally we see a handful of new legendary skins released, together with a few epic skins which can be acquired by in-game weekly challenges.
As well as the new skins on offer, players can also unlock older Archives event skins released in years gone by, and normally they’re available at a knock-down price. At the time of writing, there have been 43 skins released for the Overwatch Archives event and we can’t wait to see how many more get added in 2022.
That’s everything you need to know about the Overwatch Archive event in 2022, but make sure to bookmark this page and return as we’ll update it with the latest info as it becomes available.

Archives missions are back with fresh challenges for 2021
Overwatch ’s annual Archives event is now live, giving players a chance to revisit the game’s co-op missions and earn brand-new skins. Archives also introduces a new reward structure for Overwatch that does away with the previous win-nine-games-to-get-new-skins rules, which is good news for players who want to tackle the game’s more challenging PvE missions.
First, let’s talk about the skins. There are five new legendary skins, one each for Genji, Soldier: 76, Tracer, Widowmaker, and Zarya. Those can only be earned from Archives loot boxes or by purchasing them with in-game credits.
The 2021 Archives event, which runs April 6-27, also introduces new epic skins for Lucio, Zenyatta, and Mercy. Those skins can be earned by participating in weekly challenges. Instead of being required to win nine games each week, players can now earn “stars” in Overwatch ’s Archives missions. The harder the difficulty, the more stars you earn — and you don’t have to successfully complete missions to earn stars. Just try your best.
Check out the new skins in the gallery below, as well as a breakdown of the weekly challenges and new missions coming over the next three weeks.
