Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus Event: All You Need to Know

With the release of Overwatch: Season 2, a new limited-time mode called Battle for Olympus is now available for a limited amount of time.

In keeping with the season’s mythology theme, Ilios’ Ruins will serve as the setting for the Battle of Olympus, which will feature seven players decked out in full Greek garb. Here is all we know about the Battle for Olympus game mode.

Olympus’s time-bound event drop date: 

The event will take place over the course of the subsequent two weeks. The five-day launch of Battle for Olympus and its subsequent nineteen-day run will occur on January 5 and 19, respectively. 

There will be a variety of skins and bundles available for purchase at the event, all of which will be featured in the upcoming Arcade game mode.

While Blizzard has remained mum on the specifics of the new game mode that will be featured in Battle for Olympus, hints were dropped in the Overwatch season 2 announcement Blizzard blog.

“These heroes and several others will be imbued with awesome god-like powers in our new Battle for Olympus game mode,” Blizzard wrote.

An Overview of the Overwatch 2: Battle for Olympus Gameplay

Free-for-all deathmatch mode called “Battle for Olympus” features seven Heroes, each with their own set of “reimagined” abilities based on their mythological namesake. 

You’ll have a limited selection of characters including Junker Queen, Pharah, Widowmaker, Lucio, Reinhardt, Ramattra and Roadhog. Here are some of their reimagined powers:

1. Zeus Junker Queen: Smite enemies with Commanding Shout

2. Minotaur Reinhardt: Charge in quick succession

3. Cyclops Roadhog: Shoots boulders

4. Hades Pharah: Shoots 3 Rockets

The gameplay preview suggests that the mode will be played on Illios Ruins and Château Guillard. Watch the promotional video for the time-sensitive event below:

The trailer reveals a brand-new look for the heroes of Overwatch, one that takes inspiration from ancient Greece. And the divine enhancements really pack a punch.

The new game mode will be a free-for-all mode and as well as new skins and power ups, lots of unique audio and character lines will feature throughout.

Here are all the weapon skins coming to the event:

1. Zeus Junker Queen (Mythic)

2. Medusa Widowmaker (Legendary)

3. Hermes Lucio (Legendary)

4. Minotaur Reinhardt (Legendary)

5. Cyclops Roadhog (Legendary)

6. Hades Pharah (Legendary)

7. Poseidon Ramattra (Legendary

Blizzard Entertainment has also planned a global leaderboard of eliminations for the limited-time mode. There will be a statue erected in Ilios in honor of the Hero who has the most kills.

The three Premium battlepass tiers required to obtain Poseidon Ramattra, Hades Pharah, and Zeus Junker Queen are Level 20, Level 60, and Level 80, respectively. In the next few hours, Blizzard will launch the event in Overwatch 2, so take advantage of the remaining Winter Wonderland time and get ready for a small patch.

Top 5 Cookie Run Kingdom Alternatives

The sixth game in the Cookie Run series, Cookie Run Kingdom, is a city-building war sim and role-playing game. Builders must create their territory in addition to collecting Cookies, the characters that can fight for the player. Here is a list of the top 5 Cookie Run Kingdom alternatives if you’d prefer to play other games that are comparable.

Arknights

In January 2020, Chinese developers Studio Montagne and Hypergryph launched Arknights, a tower defense game with hints of city construction. The Cookie Run Kingdom video game came out precisely one year before this one.

In the tower defense and city-building game Arknights, players assume the role of Doctor, an enigmatic figure in control of an organization known as the Operators. Operators is a sizable medical organization trying to find a treatment for a fatal sickness that has spread over Terra, the planet on which the game is located. The base may be altered to your preferences, and various facilities can be built.

Princess Connect! Re: Dive

Queen Connect! Re: Dive is an anime role-playing game where players take on more of a time-based role than an action one. Players in this time-based RPG control a group of fierce and attractive females in straightforward yet exciting combat. There’s Karyl, the cat girl with a rough exterior but a sensitive inside, Pecorine, the powerful knight with ravenous hunger, Kokkoro, the enigmatic yet kind healer, and these others. Additionally, there is a tonne of additional characters.

Cookie Run Ovenbreak

The free-to-play mobile gacha game called Cookie Run OvenBreak was created by the Seoul-based Devsisters firm. This game was released in 2016. It is a prequel to Cookie Run Kingdom. In this game, which is an infinite runner, Cookies must escape the Witches Oven, much like GingerBrave did at the beginning of Cookie Run Kingdom.

Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade

Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade is known to be a very good alternative to the Cookie Run Kingdom. You get to guide one of 13 civilizations on its path to greatness and glory in this historical simulation game, making it ideal for history aficionados. It is up to the players how they exploit each civilization’s unique architectural traits, specialized troops, and advantages. To prevail in real-time conflicts, where you have the ability to move and place your forces, you will need to instruct your units and strategize.

Disney Heroes: Battle Mode

A cross-platform mobile role-playing game called Disney Heroes: Battle Mode is accessible on both iOS and Android devices. Your objective in this game is to assemble these young heroes and combat evil clones of other well-known Disney and Pixar characters. If you don’t want to use real money for in-game purchases, it could be difficult to collect all the materials necessary for improving your heroes. You can always engage in combat with other players if you become sick of taking on computer-controlled foes.

xQc beats Forsen’s Minecraft speed run record after two-year

Speedrunning has taken over Minecraft in the online streaming community where Forsen and xQc’s long-lasting battle is something of a legend but through the course of many years, the record has traded hands and finally, xQc has managed to take it away from Forsen.

After an intense two-year-long battle between Forsen and xQc, the latter has managed to come out on top that set a new record, completing Minecraft in just 20 minutes and five seconds, a whopping 32 seconds quicker than the previously set record by Forsen.

xQc and Forsen that taken swings at each other but the latest lead established by the former has topped the previous record by 32 seconds.

Suffice it to say that the speed run record was two years in the making and xQc was nothing short of overjoyed when he realised that all his efforts have finally yielded the result. “done with this s***.” he screamed when he beat the record.

While xQc has managed to establish a commanding lead there is a good chance that Forsen might be looking to hit to take back his throne. Only time can tell if he chooses to do so but until then xQc can rest as the king of speedruns.

Adin Ross security guard breaks hand (Video Inside)

In an arm wrestling match with Zias, popular Twitch streamer Adin Ross’s security guard Ant was left with his arm broken on live stream following which the clip has gone viral and fans are flocking to the clip to see it for themselves.

Suffice it to say that both Zias and Ant are strong men of big proportions and the likes of them engaging in arm wrestling was as exciting as it sounds which garnered a lot of viewers to the stream. The two men engaged in a contest where both were flexing their strengths right before when the disaster happened.

The pair locked each other’s arms and went to the highest limit of their strength and neither of them wanted to back down, and it is exactly at that moment, Ant snapped his arm at a critical juncture.

Adin could be heard screaming “No, No, No,” before rushing to turn the stream off upon which the VOD was immediately deleted afterwards. We can only assume that Ant was rushed to the hospital.

Judging by the sound of the snap, it is quite clear that the injury is serious and Ant might be out of work for months. While two men were busy demonstrating their strength, one of them is facing a serious injury.

Atomic Heart Multiplayer Feature Abandoned

Atomic Heart Multiplayer Feature Abandoned

Atomic Heart, a first-person shooter role-playing game developed by Mundfish, will be released next month, but what happened to its multiplayer mode, let us find that out further down below.

Atomic Heart immerses players in a peaceful world of humans and robots. The once-utopian world suddenly became much more dangerous after a tragic accident in which superpowered robots overthrew humans.

To defeat the new lethal threat that threatens the world, players will need to use a wide array of weapons and combat skills that they will need to level up and perfect. Mundfish had been working on a player-versus-player mode for Atomic Heart previously.

Will there be multiplayer in Atomic Heart?

According to a recent Q&A with Atomic Heart’s director Robert Bagratuni published on Wccftech, the game’s previously planned multiplayer mode has been scrapped.

Bagratuni has stated, “The entire Atomic Heart experience will be single-player, focusing on the story and player experience.

The developers have stated that there are no future plans for any multiplayer expansions.

There has been a lot of time spent on Atomic Heart’s development, so it stands to reason that some things will have changed. Bagratuni commented on the game’s extensive development time by saying,

“Our unwanted delay can be attributed to youth, ambition, innovation, and new technology! During the development process, we made the tough choice to abandon some ideas, even very big ones, like multiplayer. It was painful to have to make those kinds of choices, but it was the right decision.”

The release date for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC versions of Atomic Heart are set for February 21st, 2023.

Anvil Receiver Hop-Up

  • Limb damage multiplier reduced to 0.75 (was 0.9)

  • R301 damage reduced to 32 (was 35)

G7 Scout 

  • Damage reduced to 32 (was 34)

Prowler Burst PDW

  • Damage increased to 15 (was 14)

  • Now requires 1 shield cell to Energize (was 2)

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed mirage decoys not showing shield regen fx when near a Wattson Pylon or in Control or Gun Game modes.
  • 10 new Welcome Challenges added to help new players learn Apex.

Note that Apex Legends running in DirectX 11 (DX11) requires the operating system to use an additional buffer for compositing, which was not counted in mat_backbuffer_count. DX12 includes that required buffer in mat_backbuffer_count, so DX12 in full-screen mode with “1” will be just as low latency as DX11 with “0”.
  • Fixed issue where Crypto could inspect while using their drone removing the HUD.
  • Fixed issue where the lobby tabs would enter an unresponsive state after changing resolution on PC.

Revenant Esports Announces Brawl Stars Roster For Upcoming Tournaments

Revenant Esports, one of the country’s leading Esports organizations have become the first Indian Esports organization to have a presence in eight different Esports titles as they mark their entry into Brawl Stars by announcing a talented and top-notch roster that will be leading the organization’s title charge in upcoming tournaments.

The roster comprising team captain Ashmit Raj Singh (Sergeant Clash), Moida Jain (Instinct), Prashant Malik (Trashant), and Shaurya Shukla (Hero) are all notable names from the Brawl Stars community and specialists when it comes to their in-game characters.

Ashmit excels with the attacking potential of epic brawler ‘Stu’, Moida utilizes the high health and mobility of ‘Bibi’ to thrive and Prashant helps the squad with his quick speed as ‘Max’. Shaurya provides devastating damage output as ‘Spike’ to balance the team’s tactics and outperform the opponent perfectly.

Rohit Jagasia, Founder and CEO of Revenant Esports Said:

Revenant Esports has prominently focused on creating a sustainable ecosystem where multiple Esports titles can thrive and aid to the growth of the industry as a whole. Numerous organizations of the country are branching out to explore different gaming titles which will surely help the ecosystem to thrive and be dynamic instead of being too dependent on specific titles. Brawl Stars is one of the upcoming titles with a lot of promise and potential to become an influential title in the mobile-dominated era in India for the esports community.

I am happy that as an outfit we are able to create a holistic team that is versatile and progressive and one of the most skilled rosters that is currently there in the industry. With multiple tournaments looming on the horizon, we are excited to see our teams in action and bring us success and glory,

Prevailing as a duo in various tournaments, Ashmit and Moida have been playing together since last year and are considered the pros of this gaming title, recording six monthly wins together in the Brawl Stars Championship 2022 SESA-ANZ finals and being World Finalists at the Brawl Stars World Finals 2022.

Prashant joined the team after his impressive performance in the 2022 Brawl Stars Championships monthly finals while Shaurya had competed in Game.tv tournaments with Ashmit in the past.

Expressing eagerness to be in action for Revenant Esports, team captain Ashmit Raj Singh said:

It is a privilege for me and the boys to join one of the most reputed Esports organization in India. With our immense success in 2022, we are looking forward to continuing to scale newer heights for Revenant Esports and becoming one of the country’s top Brawl Stars teams. Personally, winning the most MVP awards last year in SESA and ANZ region was one of the highlights of my career and I hope to perform at a simar level here too. Playing with the same teammates is always a big plus point as we are already familiar with each other’s gameplay and have great synergy which will come in handy for upcoming tournaments.

Having assembled one of the most competent rosters in Brawl Stars, Revenant Esports will now aim to replicate the success which they have achieved in Esports titles such as BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile, Valorant, Pokemon UNITE, CS:GO, Apex Legends and Clash of Clans at the national and international stage.

The roster will be making their competitive debut in the upcoming ESL Snapdragon Pro Series India as well as the Brawl Stars Championship with their main aim is to qualify for the Masters in Japan.
