Blizzard Entertainment featured Battle for Olympus, a limited-time free-for-all of mythical proportions in Overwatch 2.
From now until January 19, we’re introducing a brand new game mode: Battle for Olympus. In this free, limited-time free-for-all, heroes battle it out wielding the power of Greek gods, goddesses, and creatures.
The Battle for Olympus will feature seven heroes who will gain special powers when they activate their divine ults, adding new effects to their ability. In addition to their godlike ultimates, heroes have unique interactions with each other as they transition from mortal to mythos in Battle for Olympus.
