All the information about Battle for Olympus, the new Overwatch 2 event

The second season of Overwatch 2 is in full swing and for the moment marked by the presence of different tanks. If at the beginning it was Doomfist who dominated the servers, over time other heroes like Orisa or Roadhog have made a declaration of intent by imposing themselves at all ranks. However, Overwatch is not exclusively dependent on its competitive matches thanks in large part to the presence of events. The new one is Battle for Olympus and it is already making itself felt within the title.

Battle for Olympus is an event that will be available until January 19 and consists mainly of a new game mode that faces eight players individually. Ramattra, Junker Queen, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Pharak, Widowmaker, and Lúcio are the only heroes available for the game mode. Characters receive a skin set in the Greek mythology and some changes to his skill kit to make the games extremely crazy.

As usual, Battle for Olympus is no exception to other events like Winterland and will feature rewards for players. However, this time the Overwatch 2 community can go together in the same direction: getting their favorite hero recognized on the servers. Activision Blizzard has announced that the character with the most kills during the Battle will have a particular statue in Ruins of Ilios to immortalize the achievement.
