Other Redditors are guessing that the event will also start on May 16, giving players just a little under three weeks to obtain as many of those special Loot Boxes as they can.
For now, the aforementioned details remain unconfirmed, but the event itself may already be. Over on Twitter, the game's official account responded to a fan asking about the Anniversary event's start date by sharing that timing details for it have not been provided yet.
More details about the rumored "Overwatch" Anniversary event should be made available soon.
