Overwatch 2 fans have a lot to be excited about since season two dropped on Dec. 6, bringing new skins, a new mythic skin, and more to the game. Additionally, a new event was revealed called Battle for Olympus.
Greek mythology is the theme for this event, and players will find that some of their favorite heroes have inherited the power of gods in this new limited-time mode. Not much else was revealed about the event, but players can catch a glimpse of what it might look like in the trailer.
The Battle for Olympus will begin on Jan. 5 and will end on Jan. 19. It will be a new limited-time mode that players can jump into and earn some rewards, and there are some shop bundles that players can grab that fit with the theme of the event. There are likely some goodies to earn via challenges, but those haven’t been revealed yet.
Several new skins are available during the event, all with a Greek mythology theme: Reinhardt, Widowmaker, Roadhog, Lucio, Junker Queen, Pharah, and the new hero, Ramattra. Players will be able to earn Mythic Skin Zeus Junker Queen, Legendary Poseidon Ramattra, and Legendary Hades Pharah through the battle pass, but the others are shop items.
Minotaur Reinhardt, Medusa Widowmaker, Cyclops Roadhog, and Hermes Lucio bundles are all at various prices in the shop. Players are still unhappy about the prices, which range from 1,900 to 2,200 per bundle depending on the hero.
Players will also get a new hero, Ramattra, when they purchase the Premium battle pass or they earn it through gameplay at battle pass level 45.
