End of an era – Overwatch will stop selling loot boxes from September

All good things must come to an end.

Players will be able to give up this form of earnings.Purchase crates with random rewards inclusively before the end of the festive event in honor of the sixth anniversary of the multiplayer shooter.Blizzard announced this in the description of "Holiday Remix: Part 3".

Interestingly, the English text refers toending the sale of loot boxes after August 30th. And in our localizations - that the measure will only affect anniversary containers. Probably, the restriction will be regional. But both versions agree that it will be possible to get ordinary boxes after the end of the event.

Will be returned to the game during the anniversary celebrationseasonal brawls: story co-op adventures, luciball, capture the flag and other modes. Their launch will take place on certain days. Users will also get a chance to have legendary skins from the archives.

Possibly an exception to the sale of loot boxes inthe first Overwatch is preparation for the release of the sequel, in which they will not be in principle. Instead, they are going to monetize the project with the help of a battle pass and an in-game store.
