Overwatch Retribution Trailer
The trailer for the Overwatch Archives - Overwatch Retribution Event has been revealed. This event goes along with the comic released earlier and takes place on the new event map Rialto in Venice, Italy. New information on the event was also released during tonight's Overwatch League Twitch stream.
The event runs from April 10-30
Rialto is a the new PvE event map. It is based in Venice, Italy.
Rialto, much like uprising, will pit a team of four playing as Moira, Reaper, Genji and McCree against AI units.
Rialto will also feature an All Heroes mode like Uprising.
Rialto will eventually make its way into the main game as a PvP payload map. It should be on the PTR soon.
The Uprising Brawl from last year will return with an All Heroes mode as well.
New skins include Moira's skin from the trailer and a Reaper skin from his time in the soldier program as Soldier: 24.

Next Overwatch Event - Overwatch Archives
While we know Overwatch Uprising was returning as the next event, Jeff Kaplan released a developer update in which they revealed the new name of the event to be Overwatch Archives. Not much information was revealed outside of the name, but they plan to reveal new info on Wednesday, April 4th at 4 P.M PST during the Overwatch League Stage 3 stream.
Next event is titled Overwatch Archives.
Overwatch Uprising Story Mode and All Heroes Brawls from last year will return.
The event was renamed because they want to be able to showcase more events than just the Omnic Uprising.
The teaser from earlier hints that the new brawl for this event could involve a Blackwatch scenario.
The skins and cosmetics from last year's Uprising event will return to loot boxes during Archives.
New skins and cosmetics will be available in Archives Loot Boxes.
Our favorite Shamada brother will receive a new skin. It is unknown whether this will be Genji or Hanzo as of now.
