Let’s break down the brand new game mode, which is live from now until April 4.

Overwatch 2 PachiMarchi event new game mode -what is Catch-A-Mari?

Catch-A-Mari is Overwatch 2’s take on a Kill Confirmed mode (or, in this case, Elimination Confirmed). The match type sees two teams made up of three heroes on each team take on each other in a team deathmatch.

However, the twist here is that whenever someone is eliminated, they leave behind a cute Pachimari toy. In order for the elimination to count for your team, you must pick up the toy afterwards.

If the opposing team gets the toy first, the elimination is denied and no point is awarded. So you’ll have to work together with your teammates to ensure the opposing side doesn’t steal away your points.

Catch-A-Mari is mainly played on Arena maps, due to its nature. Specifically, the ones included for this event are:

In fact, Hanamura has been given a special Pachimari makeover to celebrate the event, hosted by number one fan Roadhog.
