During this seasonal event, there are three new Arena maps in the Arcade: Castillo, Black Forest and Necropolis. On top of that, there are over 100 Anniversary items available in Loot Boxes. These include sprays, dancing emotes and the biggest release ever of new Legendary skins. As a token of appreciation, you’ll get one free box if you log in between today and June 12.
