Latest Overwatch Expansion, Uprising, Is Now Live

The details and trailer leaked yesterday, but Overwatch's new mode is now both official and live across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Called Uprising in English (the French version was localized as Insurrection), the update adds a bunch of new skins, items, and a PvE mode.

You can watch us play the game and unlock boxes in our Overwatch Uprising livestream right here.

The mode will run from now until May 1, and like last year's Halloween event, it will include a co-op Brawl where players team up to fight off waves of enemies.

The press release for the update describes it thus: "Our latest seasonal event turns back the clock, giving you the chance to relive a pivotal moment in Overwatch history. Explore the stories behind some of your favorite heroes, unlock pieces of the past with over 100 declassified Loot Box items, or suit up with your friends and join Tracer on her very first mission in a brand-new cooperative Brawl."
