Overwatch 2 adds and continues. Since its release in October, Blizzard’s hero shooter has been delighting us with various limited-time events. So Winter Wonderland, the game’s annual winter event, ends today, but we won’t have to wait long for the next one, since tomorrow, January 5, Battle for Olympus will begin.
In this new event we will be able to enjoy a game mode totally adapted to the circumstances, where seven heroes will receive new unique abilities.
Overwatch 2 heroes prepare for the Battle of Olympus
In this way, in the new team deathmatch mode, we will see how Various heroes are fused with Greek mythology to gain unique abilities and attacks. So, Junquer Queen is Zeus, so she can use Shout of Command and Slaughter to strike enemies with lightning. Widowmaker, for his part, acquires the abilities of Medusa, so he will be able to turn the enemies he targets with his ultimate ability into stone, while Phara will be Hades, although his ability will be to be able to heal and move while the barrage is active . These are the confirmed heroes at the moment, but we know there will be seven in total, as we can see in the event trailer, where we also see Lucio, who seems to be related to Hermes, and Reinhardt, who will be associated with the minotaur of Crete, among others.
Finally, note that there will be a global scoreboard with the losses of each hero and the winner will win a statue in Ilios, the setting based on the Greek islands.

My vocation has always been archaeology, but by chance I ended up falling in love with Egyptology. But I am above all a parakeet and a gamer. Also, I am a lover of good stories. If you don’t see me studying, I’ll be with a controller and a console adventure.
