Yes it's already time again. Well, not right *now*, but shortly... Anyhoo, Blizzard Brazil accidently dropped the ball and revealed a little info on the upcoming Overwatch Anniversary event, including one of the new skins.

Daily Mail article on it

Yup, Junkrat finally gets the peg leg he deserves.
 
Huh... So, despite my chalking it up to someone who doesn't know diddly about Overwatch in the article I linked, apparently the event will feature at least a number of skins and whatnot from previous events as well. And included in that are the brawls that went along with said older events. It should be obvious to why I was confused, as this wasn't something they did last year.
 
Here's all the info about it so far:

Duration and promotions

  • Event will last From May 22 to June 11.
  • The game will be free to play from May 25 to May 28. You will keep all content unlocked during a free weekend if you buy the game.
  • A new Overwatch Legendary Edition will be released digitally on May 22 that include several Legendary, Epic, and Origin skins for a total of 15 skins. (There are 5 Origin skins so that leaves 10 "normal" skins to be unlocked with the edition. Upgrading to the GOTY from the normal edition currently costs around 20 bucks.)


New Cosmetics

  • 8 new legendary skins. One of them is Pirate Junkrat.
  • 3 new epic skins.
  • 3 new dance emotes ( Doomfist, Moira, Brigitte).
  • 36 other new items.


Lootbox content

  • During this event, all cosmetics are available, including event items. They will be included in the lootbox pool alongside the new event items. Their credit price was not revealed.
  • You will get a legendary lootbox when you first log in after the patch. It contains a non-duplicate legendary item.
  • A second legendary lootbox is gifted to players who buy a bundle of 50 boxes.
  • All previous event lootboxes can be bought for the duration of the event.


Deathmatch and game modes

  • A new deathmatch exclusive map, Petra, will be released.
  • A deathmatch competitive season will take place (unclear if it will be Team Deathmatch or Free For All)
  • All previous event brawls will be playable and will rotate daily in the Arcade.
