Overwatch Underwatch event explained
Between April 1 and April 13, players can duke it out in hilarious matches as their favorite heroes.

Overwatch Underwatch event rewards and challenges
There are 13 Underwatch event challenges in total, and some of them require playing as tank, damage, or support hero. However, the majority of the challenges simply involve completing matches. Players can even speed this up by duking it out in Overwatch’s Stadium game mode.
In terms of the rewards, they feature a lot of Overwatch Season 1 Battle Pass XP plus a bunch of adorable sprays from the Dev Doodle line. The Ganyknife spray, in particular, has Bastion’s bird friend with a little knife! Don’t forget about the Cardboard player titles, either.
