Blizzard also confirmed there are special Overwatch Anniversary loot boxes available to earn and purchase during this event. Actually, loot boxes won’t be available for purchase anymore after August 30, though the standard type will remain earnable.

As a reminder, loot boxes won’t be included at all in Overwatch 2 (due to launch on October 4th in early access). However, players can at least import currencies from the first game, though their use will be limited.

OW1 credits come with you to OW2, but our new virtual currency will be the main currency, and there will be things in OW2 that will not be purchasable with those OW1 credits.
