RankUp's take
Ramattra, Brigitte, Freja, Lifeweaver, and Mauga each receive a new Legendary crossover skin. Their designs are based on Mephisto, Paladin, Rogue, Warlock, and Druid respectively.
Four cosmetics from the earlier Trials of Sanctuary crossover are returning: Inarius Pharah, Lilith Moira, Imperius Reinhardt, and Gilded Hunter Sombra. Blizzard says the collaboration skins can be purchased separately or through bundles.
The original event challenges and their rewards will also be available again. A new Crab with a Knife Weapon Charm joins the reward pool.
Twitch Drops run earlier, from April 14 to May 10. Watching an eligible Overwatch stream for one hour unlocks the Wolf Pup Weapon Charm, while two hours unlocks the Sword Weapon Charm.
This is a cosmetic event, so ranked balance and hero matchups are unchanged. Plan purchases and challenge progress around the event window, and complete the Twitch viewing requirements before May 10.
What this means for you
There are no announced gameplay changes, so ranked strategies remain the same. Players interested in the rewards should note that Twitch Drops end before the main event does.
