Overwatch Winter Wonderland Event is Now Live, New Skins Revealed

Snowball Deathmatch and three new weekly challenges for cosmetics also arrive.

The Winter Wonderland seasonal event returns to Blizzard’s Overwatch. Along with the Yeti Hunt, which sees a team of Meis facing a powerful Winston, the event features Snowball Deathmatch. There are also new cosmetics like highlight intros, Legendary and Epic skins, emotes and more that are available.

Check out the trailer below to see some of them including Rat King Reaper and Jotunn Doomfist. Much like previous events, Winter Wonderland will have three weekly challenges. Win three games to earn a player icon; six games for a spray; and nine games for an Epic Skin. This week is focused on Soldier 76 with Moira and Mercy to follow in subsequent weeks.

Winter Wonderland will be live until January 2nd 2020. Along with new cosmetics, you can also purchase previous years’ items for a discounted price. It may not be the most content-packed event until Overwatch 2 arrives but it’s something. Stay tuned for other details on the new update.
