Overwatch loot boxes on August 30th, the studio announced in a
blog post published on Tuesday. The date coincides with the end of the game’s recently launched Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event. Blizzard notes players will still have the chance to earn free loot boxes after the 30th. Additionally, the game will automatically open any loot boxes in a player’s inventory before the launch of
Overwatch 2 on October 4th. With the new game
set to replace
Overwatch at that point, that will ensure players don’t lose any skins and other cosmetics before the switch.</p><p>In June, Blizzard announced
Overwatch 2would abandon loot boxes in favor of a seasonal battle pass and a “consistently updated” in-game store. The move came after the studio said it
would not release Diablo Immortal in Belgium and the Netherlands due to laws in those countries against that kind of monetization.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="ab5ad48fc1084a069865b6da05cadbdf"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe src="
