Mirrorwatch

Mirrorwatch is a limited-time event in Overwatch 2 that was featured in Season 10: Venture Forth. The event featured a new limited-time game mode which had reimagined abilities for the heroes. The event ran from April 23rd to May 13 2024,, and then returned during the Overwatch Anniversary Event 2024, on October 8 to October 15, 2024.

Story

While Overwatch was at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, Talon launched an assault on the base, leading to a battle to ensue. It was then that Doomfist punched into Reinhardt's shield so ferociously, it broke reality and led to an alternative universe where Overwatch Agents are now serving Talon, whilst Talon operatives are now a part of Overwatch.
