Depending on which side of the battle you're on, that may already be the case. But in Overwatch 2's special Mirrorwatch mode, the game imagines this exact scenario and turns it into a very fun limited-time game type where players can flex their skills across all roles with new abilities and more. Here's everything to know about Mirrorwatch in OW2, including every playable hero and their new abilities. What is Mirrorwatch in Overwatch 2? Mirrorwatch is a limited-time mode in Overwatch 2 where the heroes have become villains and the villains have become heroes, such as Doomfist joining Overwatch and evil Reinhardt joining Talon. It's a mirror universe where everything is the opposite, but some of the heroes even have updated and new abilities in the game type, which features standard five-vs-five gameplay on random maps. Mirrorwatch began on April 23 and will end on May 14, meaning players have just three weeks to finish all of the challenges and unlock the rewards, including the top reward, a Legendary skin for Orisa. All new hero abilities in Mirrorwatch A total of 12 heroes have new or updated abilities in Mirrorwatch, and some of them are very fun.
