Overwatch 2 Battle For Olympus Details: Playable Characters, Divine Ultimates, and Rewards

As part of Overwatch 2 Season 2’s Greek mythology theme, Blizzard is introducing a new limited-time game mode: Battle for Olympus. In the mode, the heroes will go head-to-head in a free-for-all deathmatch, after which the hero with the most kills in the entire event will have their statue placed on the Ruins arena map. of Illios to commemorate his victory. The event will take place from January 5 to January 19 and offers players various rewards for a limited time.

However, not all Overwatch 2 heroes and villains are invited to these Olympic Games. Ramattra, Junker Queen, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Pharah, Widowmaker, and Lucio are the elite blessed with the divine powers of seven Greek gods and are therefore able to compete.
