Overwatch’s annual Winter Wonderland event starts today and runs until 2 January. This year’s celebrations include a new mini-game called Snowball Deathmatch, a variety of skins, icons and sprays with holiday motifs, and three weekly challenges.
Snowball Deathmatch is a fight with eight players. Victory goes to the first player to score 15 eliminations. Each player joins Mei, who has a modified snowball cannon and a new ability called Catch, which allows players to intercept snowballs in the air and add them to their ammo count.
The weekly challenges again bring players to win nine games in any mode to get an epic skin. The first week’s skin is an ugly sweater for Soldier: 76, the second week rewards players with “Holly Moira” and the third week is Snow Angel Mercy. Players can also unlock four other legendary skins through prey boxes or by buying in the shop. The skins are Jotuun Doomfist, Mountain Man McCree, Rat King Reaper and Rime Sigma.
The event will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. You can see most of the following skins:
