The community is encouraged to send both digital and physical art submissions, with a deadline set for June 30. This initiative aims to further engage players in the celebration of Pride.
A Year-Round Commitment
Blizzard emphasizes its commitment to celebrating LGBTQ+ heroes, players, fans, and team members throughout the year. The message reinforces that everyone is unique and valued within the Overwatch community, promoting inclusivity and support for all.
