Mirrorwatch is a limited-time mode in Overwatch 2 where the heroes have become villains and the villains have become heroes, such as Doomfist joining Overwatch and evil Reinhardt joining Talon.

It’s a mirror universe where everything is the opposite, but some of the heroes even have updated and new abilities in the game type, which features standard five-vs-five gameplay on random maps.

Mirrorwatch began on April 23 and will end on May 14, meaning players have just three weeks to finish all of the challenges and unlock the rewards, including the top reward, a Legendary skin for Orisa.
