The Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus event has started and players now have the opportunity to get some pretty neat rewards, such as a legendary Marcy skin, for free.
The brand-new Overwatch 2 event, Battle for Olympus has started and already offers some really cool rewards, which you can claim without spending a penny of your hard-earned money. Overwatch 2 skins are expensive, and compared to the original game, pretty hard to get for free. So the one thing players kept requesting over the past few months was some play-to-earn content. Luckily, Blizzard granted us this wish and opened the doors that lead behind the paywall.
