Game news Overwatch 2: the gods of Olympus honored in this temporary game mode
Thing promised, thing due: Activision Blizzard has finally launched its first temporary event for Overwatch 2. The free-to-play FPS is getting a themed game mode that puts the gods of Olympus in the spotlight. On the program, new maps, skins and special skills for almost two weeks.
Overwatch 2 in God Mode
Blizzard has finally granted a first temporary game mode for its competitive FPS. For two weeks, the players ofOverwatch 2 will be able to launch an assault on Battle for Olympus, an event that adds a lot of content to the software. Excellent news for fans, who have been complaining regularly since the launch of the software last October because of many problems, such as the economic model, the balancing or the important changes between the first and the second opus.
This time, Blizzard is trying to make amends by offering Battle for Olympus from January 5 to 19. During this event, players will be able to compete in free-for-all Deathmatch around the theme of the Greek gods. Several characters in the roster dress as deities and creatures from Greek mythology, such as Poseidon Ramattra, Zeus Queen of the Junkers, Minotaur Reinhardt, Cyclops Chopper, Hades Pharah, Medusa Fatale, and Hermes Lucio.
In addition to these skins, each character has a new ultimate skill, much more powerful and effective than in the classic game modes. Their lines have also been modified, as has the Château Guillard map in order to stick more to the spirit of Olympus.
Good news for OW2?
It is certain that this new game mode should satisfy some of the players who complained about the lack of content in Overwatch 2 so far. However, it is difficult to say if Battle for Olympus will be enough to completely restore the reputation of the software with the video game community. Despite a record launch, Blizzard took a big hit on the head after initial player feedback and teams later admitted that the title “deserved some improvements”. Anyway, the studio has not abandoned its latest and still wants to bet on it in the future. Designed as a service game, Overwatch 2 should receive more content soon, with the launch of the following seasons. Case to follow.
