Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland 2022 Event Has New Skins, Classic Modes

Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland 2022: Overwatch 2’s annual holiday event, Winter Wonderland, has begun. This year, the event features the return of three winter-themed arcade modes and the introduction of a new set of cosmetics. At the very least, players can obtain Brigitte’s Ice Queen cosmetic for free by achieving certain milestones in the Winter Wonderland game mode.

From December 13 until January 4, 2023, players can participate in Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland 2022 event, which features the return of four game modes: Mei’s Snowball Offensive, Snowball Deathmatch, Yeti Hunter, and Freeze-thaw Elimination.

While those modes are likely familiar to seasoned Overwatch players, newcomers will find two Mei-themed 6v6 Elimination and 8-player FFA Deathmatch game modes with snowballs, a 5v1 mode where five Meis take on one meat-snatching Winston and a 4v4 freeze tag mode where players attempt to eliminate opponents by freezing them and keep their teammates alive by thawing them.

Participants in these arcade modes will gain access to the Epic-level Ice Queen Brigitte skin and a set of sprays based on holiday ornaments. To get Brigitte’s new skin from the Winter Wonderland event, you have to do six other challenges, which are:

• Freeze 15 pals in the Freeze-thaw Elimination game to show your warmth.
• To Cure, a Cold, Play Snowball Deathmatch and Catch Six Snowballs
• Horrifying – Playing as a Yeti and winning in Yeti Hunter.
• Ice Block – Stop a snowball in its tracks with Mei’s icy barrier.
• Awakened – Obtain a victory in a Freeze-Thaw Elimination match
• In order to trigger the Snowstorm effect, you must triumph in a round of Snowball Deathmatch.
• Achieve victory in Monster Hunter: World while playing as Mei the Yeti Hunter.
• It’s Cocoa time! Defeat the opposition using Mei’s Snowball Attack!

Bastion now has gingerbread-themed skin, Echo has an ice angel skin, and Mei wears the hu Tou mao skin—all thanks to the Winter Wonderland event! All of the skins may be purchased with in-game currency called Overwatch Coins. There are also previous-year Winter Wonderland skins for purchase.

In the update that went live on Tuesday, there are a ton of new skins that can’t be bought just yet but can be viewed in-game. Several of them, such as the Medusa Widowmaker, Cyclops Roadhog, Minotaur Reinhardt, and the Crustacean Wrecking Ball (who also receives a crab-walking “Scurrying” emote), were previewed in late November as part of Overwatch 2′s season 2 teaser.

The second installment of Overwatch is now playable on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox One X.
