Overwatch's next special event is less than two weeks away according to a leaked video which was posted to the Brazilian Overwatch Twitter page - and it will bring with it the return of past cosmetics, gamemodes, and maps.

The "Anniversary" event will start on May 22, going off the afformentioned tweet. Overwatch fans noticed the tweet overnight, which announced the event's start date and a few new details. The video was quickly deleted from the Brazilian page, but not before fans were able to download the video and capture multiple screenshots - which they quickly posted onto Overwatch's subreddit.

The video revealed a new Junkrat skin, "Pirate Junkrat," alongside some text that suggests items and brawls from other events will return. Details beyond that are uncertain, though highly speculated on the above mentioned subreddit.

The date for the event shouldn't necessarily be a surprise; last year, the Anniversary event kicked off on May 23, just days before the game's first birthday. It brought with it more than 100 new cosmetic items, as well as three fresh arena maps accompanied by additional game modes - it seems this year's Anniversary event will be no different.

As Blizzard typically announces its Overwatch events about a week before the start date, we should expect an official announcement in just a couple of days.
