The long-awaited follow-up to the original team-based shooter, which has only been out for a few months, has quickly gained a devoted following with players strategizing to win and expressing their views on various features and mechanics on forums and social media. In an effort to maintain its appeal and relevance, Blizzard has announced a new limited-time event: the clash for the throne of the gods.
Inspired by Greek mythology, this free-for-all deathmatch will feature a selection of seven champions with reimagined abilities that draw upon the divine might of ancient deities. The stealthy and lethal sniper, for example, will have the ability to turn opponents into stone, channeling the Gorgon Medusa. The ruler of the scrapyard, wielding the strength of Zeus, will use her Commanding Shout to wreak havoc on the battlefield. The formidable enforcer will transform into a giant cyclops and shoot boulders, while Reinhardt becomes a Minotaur and charges with increased speed. Pharah will be imbued with the power of Hades, able to shoot three rockets at once.
The special event will take place from January 5th to January 19th and will be set in the map Chateau Guillard, where players may come across repurposed armor packs that serve an mysterious function. On the map a location in the game, the player with the most eliminations during the event will be recognized with their own marble statue. The trailer for the event promises divine rewards for players, though it is unclear exactly what these will consist of. Earlier limited-time event events have offered names or labels, voice lines, sprays, and skins, so it is likely that players can expect similar in-game bonuses.
In addition to the Battle for Olympus event, there will also be a celebration of the Chinese calendar limited event running from the seventeenth of January to February 6th. This provides additional thrills and content for players to enjoy in the coming weeks.
Review:
As a enthusiast of both Overwatch and Greek mythology, I am excited to see these two elements blended in the Battle for Olympus event. The idea of playing as reimagined heroes with mythological powers adds a new layer of strategy to the game, and I can't wait to see how these powers will impact my gameplay. The promise of divine rewards also provides an additional motivation to participate in the event.
Overall, I am eager to diving into the Battle for Olympus and experiencing all that it has to offer.
