Overwatch 2 just wrapped up the annual Winter Wonderland event, and now it’s time to jump into something completely different. The Battle for Olympus limited-time mode is a new take on deathmatch, with a number of heroes, including Ramattra, Junker Queen, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Pharah, and Lucio getting new Greek-god-themed makeovers and powers. You can check out a trailer for the Battle for Olympus LTM, below.
The Battle for Olympus LTM launches alongside a new patch, which provides buffs for a number of heroes, including Junker Queen, Zarya, Brigitte, and Moira. Here’s a rundown of the changes…
