The [[List of previous Battle Passes#Season_2|season 2 battle pass]] featured other Greek god-themed cosmetics, such as skins for [[Junker Queen]], [[Pharah]] and [[Ramattra]]. The event also introduced a limited-time deathmatch game mode of the same name, '''Battle For Olympus''', with related [[List of event challenges#Battle For Olympus|event challenges]].<ref name = "Season2News">2022-11-29, [https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23878812/ What to expect for Season 2: Ramattra, Shambali Monastery, and the Battle for Olympus].

The limited-time [[game mode]] returned in [[Season#Season 4|Season 4]], alongside the new ''Team Deathmatch'' version upon popular request. However, the challenges and other cosmetics did not return during this time, only the game mode. This time, the event ran from May 23 to May 29, 2023.

The event returned again during the [[Overwatch Anniversary]] 2023 from September 19 to September 26, 2023.

== Battle for Olympus Deathmatch ==
{{main|Battle for Olympus Deathmatch}}
Battle for Olympus is a [[Deathmatch]] game mode that features seven [[heroes]] that get special powers when they activate their divine ultimates that stack new effects on top of their abilities. The mode was initially only available as an 8 player FFA Deathmatch, but during its comeback in Season 4, it became also available as a 4v4 Team Deathmatch. 

At the end of the first event, the hero with the highest number of kills overall from the event will have had their statue placed on the Ilios Ruins arena map to commemorate their victory. The winner of the first Battle for Olympus was Zeus Junker Queen.

====Anniversary 2023====
During the [[Overwatch Anniversary|Anniversary]] 2023 event, these cosmetics returned to the [[shop]] with some minor changes. Notably, the ''Hermes Lúcio Bundle'' wasn't available, as the skin was instead available in the limited-time [[Shop#Anniversary Shop|anniversary event shop]].

The remaining 3 bundles for Minotaur [[Reinhardt]], Cyclops [[Roadhog]] and Medusa [[Widowmaker]] were available for purchase again in the shop, along with a ''Battle For Olympus Mega Bundle'' for {{Coins}} 4200.

Additionally, new cosmetics were introduced into some bundles. These new cosmetics did not affect the prices of the bundles:

==Development==
Feedback for the event was generally positive, though the developers did not expect that players would pursue all of the hero titles during the event. They also felt that some challenges were too difficult to complete in aggregate. The developers plan to make a team deathmatch version and enable the mode in custom games the next time it runs. Environmental kills will be included in future leaderboard tabulations.<ref name="Season2Retrospective">2023-01-31, [https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-gb/news/23910163/season-2-retrospective-a-look-back-and-the-road-forward/ Season 2 Retrospective: A Look Back and the Road Forward].
