Overwatch 2: What the heroes look like in the "Mirrorwatch" event

Have you ever imagined if Mercy was evil? What if Tracer was from Talon? Well, now, thanks to the limited-time event called “Mirrorwatch” in Overwatch 2, we no longer have to imagine.

The event, which is now available in Overwatch 2, continues until May 13th with some interesting changes to the abilities of some of the game’s heroes, mixing good and evil in a non-canonical way.

The event also brings a new line of missions and rewards, where the main reward is a legendary Orisa skin: the OR-UNIT Orisa.

Changes to Overwatch 2 heroes in “Mirrorwatch”

In this mirrored universe of Overwatch 2, our heroes gain new personalities, very different from the ones we normally know, new alignments and also abilities, which promise to change the game’s 5v5 gameplay, bringing a totally new dynamic.
