Overwatch: Storm Rising Dates – When does it start?
Storm Rising will take place from April 16th until May 6th across PS4, Xbox One and PC. Updates normally drop during the evening on the day of release.

It’s possible that Sojourn is a new hero Blizzard has begun teasing, providing us with a glimpse of her voice before unleashing the bigger picture. Heroes often drop after major seasonal events, so perhaps the same will occur here?
Overwatch: Storm Rising Gameplay – What do you do?
Archive Events are easily Overwatch’s most ambitious, pitting a team of four players against bespoke, AI-controlled opponents as they claim and escort objectives across an existing map.
Granted, the battleground will have received an aesthetic overhaul to reflect the moment in history, and we expect Storm Rising to do the very same. Past events saw us playing as Overwatch and Talon Company, taking out foes while pushing forward.
Players can choose from four distinct heroes, all of which are outfitted in stylish uniforms you can unlock as skins for use is general multiplayer. They’re a lot of fun, acting as a handy way to earn lootboxes and other goodies.
We’ll be sure to update this page once more Storm Rising information emerged! For now, keep it look to @trustedreviews on Facebook and Twitter.
