A number of Overwatch 2 players have voiced their complaints about Battle for Olympus, the new limited-time deathmatch, calling it “possibly the worst event in Overwatch history” and “a new low.”<\/h2>\n

Overwatch 2’s new Greek mythology-themed game mode, Battle for Olympus, is now live as a limited-time deathmatch, but it looks like not all players are too thrilled with it.<\/p>\n

Overwatch 2 players aren’t all happy with new Battle for Olympus mode<\/h3>\n

Players have taken to the Overwatch subreddit to discuss Battle for Olympus, voicing their disappointment that a lot of players might already have the main reward for the event’s challenges (an unrelated skin \u2014 the Legendary Winged Victory Mercy skin \u2014 that’s apparently already been in the game for a long time), and calling the event “possibly the worst event in Overwatch history,” “basically a new skin showcase,” and “just laziness.” One player even went so far as to say “I’m so disappointed by the new event that I turned off the game.”<\/p>\n

Battle for Olympus is live until January 19th with challenges to complete, plus a competition where the hero with the most number of kills from the event will be celebrated with a statue in the Illios Ruins arena map. Have you played the new event? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
