Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Overwatch will be getting another free weekend for PC users.

Those of you interested in taking the popular shooter for a spin can do so from July 26 – 30, with the freebie giving you access to all heroes, including hamster Hammond and his massive Wrecking Ball. 

If that wasn't enough, Overwatch's free weekend is also offering 18 maps up for grabs, alongside Quick Play, Arcade and Custom Games. While achievements appear to be locked off, you can still level up and earn items from loot boxes.

As is typically the case with free weekends, any progress you make during this time will carry over to the full version of the game, should you decide to purchase it. You'll need to use the same account to do this, however.

If you're interested in playing the game, then you'll need to sign up for the Overwatch free weekend client on July 26 — the freebie begins at 7.00pm BST. 

Overwatch launched on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One back in May 2016, and we were pretty impressed by what it had to offer.
