The long-awaited follow-up to the original team-based shooter, which has only been out for a few months, has already established itself as a fan favorite with players devising ways to emerge victorious and expressing their views on various aspects of the game on forums and social media. In an effort to keep the game fresh and updated, 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. Widowmaker, for example, will have the ability to turn opponents into stone, using the mythical creature's power. Junker Queen, 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. The skilled aerial assailant will be imbued with the power of Hades, able to shoot three rockets at once.



The event will take place from the fifth of January to the nineteenth of January and will be set in the map the castle of the Guillard family, where players may come across repurposed armor packs that serve an unknown purpose. On the map a location in the game, the player with the most eliminations during the event will be honored with their own sculpture made of marble. The trailer for the event promises divine rewards for players, though it is unspecified exactly what these will consist of. Earlier limited-time events have offered names or labels, short phrases spoken by characters, sprays, and skins, so it is likely that players can expect similar in-game bonuses.



In addition to the confrontation for the throne of the gods 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 conflict for the throne of the gods event. The idea of controlling characters with altered abilities with mythological powers brings a fresh layer of tactical depth to the game, and I can't wait to see how these powers will change the way I play. 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.


Availability:
