The Archives Event has started and Blizzard is offering a free trial for all players who don't have Overwatch. The free trial runs through April 23 2019.
Anyone on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One can download the game and play for free. All of the Overwatch Archives content, from Storm Rising through previous Archives events, will be playable. The full multiplayer game will be playable, as well. That includes all 27 of the games maps, along with all 30 heroes including new combat medic Baptiste.
Blizzard has released the full trailer for the new Overwatch Archives event set in Havana. The Overwatch: Storm Rising event begins tomorrow April 16 through May 6. Previous Overwatch Archives events have generally been lore-focused things with unique PvE missions with special loot.
The trailer shows Overwatch heroes tracking down a target while a robotic voice intones, “everyone you know, everything you do, can be bought.” Blizzard tagline for the event is "Chase the truth". Implying there is a mystery to be solved.
Storm Rising will introduce players to a new character named Sojourn. Might she be the next new heroe to be introduced down the line?
