Developer Blizzard Entertainment has taken to the official site of free-to-play hero shooter Overwatch 2 to announce that Mischief & Magic event is now live.
It is a “prop-hunt” style mode consisting of two teams of five taking turns hiding from the knights or seeking out the rogues. In order to win the round, the rogues must avoid being caught and tagged by the knights before time runs out. On the other side, the knights must find all five rogues before time expires to score. Teams swap sides every round, and the first team to three wins is the victor.
Rogues are not able to attack but they can jump, double-jump and wall-climb to find the perfect hiding place. You can also transform into a randomly chosen prop. Beware of the whistle that sounds if you remain stagnant for too long!
“Alchemist Mei needs your help! The mischievous Rogue Kiriko is causing trouble throughout Overland. She’s taken one of her valuable artifacts allowing her to transform into more than a dozen objects. It’s up to Royal Guard Genji to stop her before she can get away!”
Mischief & Magic event will be running until August 9, so don’t miss out on special rewards! In other Overwatch-related news, Blizzard also released three episodes-long series Overwatch – Genesis, dedicated to the first sentient omnic Aurora and the change she brought to the world.
