Even though the Retribution event just kicked off a week ago (at the time of publishing), players are already looking forward to the Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date. This year, 2018, marks the second anniversary since the extremely popular first-person shooter launched in 2016 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. 2017 saw the first-anniversary celebration.
Considering that the first anniversary was a huge event and a big deal in the community, many players are already looking forward to the Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date. This second anniversary is sure to be one of the biggest events of the year for the game’s community, so here’s what we know about when it will be.
Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date Explained
Let’s the get the truth out of the way first. At this time, we have no concrete Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date as to when the second-anniversary event will start. However, that doesn’t stop us from having a pretty darn good guess as to when that would be. Unfortunately, it will require some waiting on your part.
We’re pretty sure that the Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date will be in May (next month), as that’s when both the game launched in 2016 and when the first anniversary took place last year. With the month locked down, we can also narrow down the window to sometime most likely in the latter half of May.
For reference, the launch of the game in North America was May 24th, 2016 while the first anniversary was on May 23rd, 2017. Knowing that those two dates were only a day apart, we can take a guess that the Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date will be in that area as well.
As for the exact date we think it could be, we guess that it could very well be May 22nd, 2018 as it falls on a Tuesday just like those two other days did. Stay tuned here for the exact Overwatch Anniversary 2018 Date in the future.
