Time limited new game mode: Battle for Olympus

Overwatch 2

01/06/2023 - From now until January 19, you can play a brand new game mode: Battle for Olympus. Available for a limited time, this FFA deathmatch pits heroes against the powers of the Greek gods, goddesses, and creatures.

In Battle for Olympus, seven heroes receive special powers when they activate their divine ultimates, which add more effects to the ability. In addition to the divine ultimates, you can also witness unique interactions between the heroes as they go from mortals to legends in Battle for Olympus.

Here are the teams and their special powers:

Ramattra as Poseidon

  • Overpower unleashes large water blasts that deal more damage and have higher range.

  • Makes you much taller and you gain 600 hit points.
  • Instead of the normal fire mode of the ultimate ability, throw rocks that deal high damage.
