As part of Overwatch 2 Season 2’s Greek mythology theme, Blizzard is introducing a new, limited-time game mode: Battle for Olympus. The mode sees heroes go head-to-head in a free-for-all deathmatch, after which the hero with the greatest number of kills across the entire event will have their statue placed on the Illios Ruins arena map to commemorate their victory. The event runs from January 5-19 and offers players several limited-time rewards.
However, not all of Overwatch 2’s various heroes and villains are invited to these Olympic games. Ramattra, Junker Queen, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Pharah, Widowmaker, and Lucio are the elite few blessed with the divine powers of seven Greek gods and are therefore able to compete.

Along with their gods’ favor, these heroes also get new skins and new abilities referred to as Divine Ultimates. These abilities will function fairly similarly to the character’s usual Ultimates, albeit with some fun, mythical twists. Widowmaker, for example, will take on the appearance of Medusa, and when using Divine Infra-Sight, gains the ability to turn opponents looking at her into stone. The complete list of heroes, their chosen deities, and their Divine Ultimates is as follows:
