The Archives event Storm Rising - Part 3

The third Archives event took place in 2019, it started on April 16th and finished on May 6th.

May I present to you, all the cinematics for the new brawl that was introduced in this event, Storm Rising:

Not only is this cinematic absolutely amazing, but it also introduces us to two well known characters for the first time, Sojourn and Ramantra.

The brawl itself follows an Overwatch mission, with the agents, Tracer, Winston, Genji and Mercy as the playable cast. The mission is to apprehend a talon executive, Maximillian. They chase him throughout the map of Havana, which was also introduced at the same time as this brawl.

We also got some banger skins during this event:

I religiously use Deadlock McCree, Talon Baptiste and Formal Soldier, like they are my religion. They're just amazing skins. Socialite Ashe and Scientist Moira are also great skins and I use them regularly.

I find it quiet easy to forget the point of the posts I'm writing at the time, so before I forget, let's just compare how many legendries that is when put alongside the last two events. So, in this 2019 event, we got 5 great skins, in the 2018 event we got 7 legendries, and in the 2017 event we got another 7. There's a little bit of a decline, but I don't really think it's dramatic. The skins we got in the 2019 event are a lot better quality than the 2017 skins and some 2018 skins as well. So, so far, they're keeping up on that.

All in all, 2019 was a brilliant Achieves event, with great skins, a new map, new characters introduced and a new brawl. I'd say we were fed pretty great that year.
