Will your Overwatch skins and achievements transfer to Overwatch 2? Blizzard EntertainmentWill your Overwatch skins and achievements transfer across to the game\u2019s highly anticipated sequel, Overwatch 2? Here\u2019s everything we know. Ever since Overwatch 2\u2018s reveal back in 2019, Blizzard have been reluctant to pull back the curtains on any of the game\u2019s upcoming content. While initially we only saw some spectacular splash art for new maps, coupled with a series of new looks for some of the franchise\u2019s most iconic heroes and villains, in the run up to the highly anticipated beta test the veil is finally starting to descend. As more and more information leaks out of the cracks, one of Blizzard\u2019s community managers has given us some good news about Overwatch 2\u2019s cosmetic system. Blizzard confirm Overwatch skins will transfer to OW2 Following the announcement of the all-new Anniversary Remix event system and, in turn, the cosmetics that are up for grabs during what would have been the Archives 2022 event, Blizzard have confirmed that your hard-earned Overwatch skins will be transferrable to the sequel. In the official blog post announcing the change to the base game\u2019s events, Community Manager, AndyB, states \u201cinstead, the Anniversary Remix events will be introducing a new set of variants in place of the normal event schedule, all of which will transfer to Overwatch 2 along with all previously earned skins, sprays, and player icons.\u201d This echoes the game\u2019s official website, which notes \u201cyour accomplishments and loot collections will be carried forward to Overwatch 2. That means you\u2019ll keep your skins, player icons, sprays, emotes, and more!\u201d This means that you\u2019ll be able to migrate your extensive arsenal of skins and cosmetics over to the sequel, whilst simultaneously being able to earn new ones. It\u2019s a little bit like marriage: something old, something new, but fortunately, not something borrowed. While the Remix concept hasn\u2019t quite been a hit with some of the game\u2019s playerbase, at least this is a sliver of good news \u2013 after all, it means your hard work hasn\u2019t all been for nothing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
