Blizzard launches Overwatch: Classic, bringing back 6v6 matches

Recently, there have been rumours about Blizzard bringing back the original 6v6 format from Overwatch 1. It turns out, we are getting that, but it won't be a permanent change, at least not for now. 

Blizzard has announced that it will be holding an Overwatch: Classic limited time event in Overwatch 2. This event will allow players to play the original maps and heroes from the first game, complete with the old 6v6 gameplay featuring two tanks on each team.

For now, the event will run from the 12th of November until the 2nd of December. However, Blizzard's announcement alludes to the event returning in the future:

“Each Overwatch: Classic event will feature heroes and balance from popular moments in the game’s history”.

The first event features gameplay and characters from the 1.0 version of Overwatch, transporting us all back to 2016, when the game was at its peak popularity and winning GOTY awards.
