Overwatch: Ranking Every Seasonal Event From Worst To Best

2. Uprising

Uprising was an event that wasn't about a real-life occasion or holiday, but rather one that's all about Overwatch itself, much like Anniversary, except executed far better. Also, in a sharp contrast the Lunar New Year event, Uprising proved that a reskin of an established game mode can be done not only exceptionally, but fantastically, provided the developers get creative enough with it.

True to form, the special game mode, also called Uprising, was a truly epic experience. It combined the Escort game mode with elements of Control and threw in some awesome battles against hordes of Onmic foes.

There was a fair bit of lore to be experienced as well, with Uprising also serving as an inside look at some of the members of Overwatch in their prime, complete with wildly entertaining banter.

Plus, the game mode could be played two different ways, either with the specific characters in the story, or with whichever members of the roster you wanted. And that's not even taking into account the awesome skins that showed what various different characters looked like during the time of Overwatch's heyday.
