Overwatch 2 2023 Anniversary Event
The Overwatch 2 Anniversary 2023 event is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, Sept. 19. This announcement was made by the developers in the most recent set of patch notes released on Sept. 7.
Typically Overwatch 2 events span a duration of about two to three weeks. Hence, it is expected that Overwatch 2's 2023 Anniversary event is slated to commence on Tuesday, September 19, and will run through until Tuesday, October 3. This grants players a few weeks to engage with the latest challenges and secure all the exclusive rewards available.
While it remains uncertain if Blizzard intends to diverge from this pattern for this particular event, any deviation might be in honor of the game's birthday.

Overwatch 2 2023 Anniversary Event Skins and Challenges
Regarding rewards, limited-time cosmetics, and skins for the Overwatch 2 2023 Anniversary event, details are scant at this early stage. And the challenges that players can undertake also remain undisclosed.
However, there's speculation that limited-time event skins like the One-Punch Man collaboration, Roadhog’s Pachimari skin, and Hanzo’s Valentine skin might reappear in the Overwatch 2 2023 Anniversary event. Official confirmation is pending, and we'll provide updates as soon as they are released.
Furthermore, the developers have specified that Overwatch 2 2023 Anniversary event skins will be obtainable using Overwatch credits, as opposed to Overwatch coins. This distinction is notable as new skins in the OW2 shop generally necessitate payment with coins, which are primarily acquired through real money transactions. Credits, on the other hand, can be earned through in-game activities. We'll update this piece once we receive more information about the skins to be featured in the Overwatch 2 Anniversary 2023 event.
