UPDATE: April 11, 2017, 2:53 p.m. EDT The event has officially come out and it is called Overwatch: Uprising. The English version of the trailer is above.

Thanks to what looks like an early leak of Tuesday's reveal, we now know that the next Overwatch event is likely called Overwatch: Insurrection.

The French version of the Insurrection trailer leaked online Monday and gave us a pretty good idea of what's coming on Tuesday, including a whole bunch of cool new skins from the past and what looks like a PvE event similar to Halloween's Junkenstein's Revenge.

Overwatch: Insurrection takes place in the not-too-distant past when the titular Overwatch team (starring Tracer, Reinhardt, Torbjörn and Mercy) took on the Omnic uprising in London. The new game mode looks like the reverse of a tower defense game, where you and your team traverse through the streets of King's Row defeating waves of robots and making your way past big turrets.

The trailer suggest that the event will run from April 11 to May 1.
