How To Play Mirrorwatch

The main appeal of Mirrorwatch is the limited-time gamemodeavailable in the Arcade until May 13th.In Mirrorwatch, you will get to pick between 12 characters that have had their visual appearances altered, and most importantly,their abilities are also reworkedto match their new alignments.

Throughout the event, the Watchpoint Gibraltar map has also been changed to better match this alternate universe. Instead of the classic Overwatch logos found throughout the base,the entire map has been redecorated to match Talon’s evil aesthetic.
