Junker Queen has won Overwatch 2's Battle for Olympus event

But we're told that it will be back next year.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 23 January 2023

Many of you, as I was, were likely under the impression that the Battle for Olympus event in Overwatch 2 was a limited-time event to coincide with the Season 2 content framed around Greek mythology. Well, it doesn't look like that is the case.

Because Blizzard has stated in a recent tweet that Battle for Olympus is an annual event, suggesting that it will be back each year in the same way that Winter Wonderland, Summer Games, and the ongoing Year of the X (Rabbit for 2023) act.

As for this year's Battle for Olympus, the winner ended up being Junker Queen, a character who managed to stave off Pharah and Lucio to take the event for its first year.
