Many people have already put up their holiday decorations with Thanksgiving behind us, and we all know what that means—winter holiday events are right around the corner.
Overwatch 2’s second season began on Dec. 6. Along with a new hero and map, the season will have a pair of limited-time events, including the return of Overwatch’s Winter Wonderland.
Within this event, various holiday-themed game modes return such as Mei’s Snowball Offensive and Freezethaw Elimination, while previous Winter Wonderland skins will rotate in and out of the game’s shop. Players will be able to unlock the Epic-tier Ice Queen Brigitte skin for free by playing during the event and completing a challenge alongside a handful of other cosmetics.
When does Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland begin and end?
Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland will start on Dec. 13, just one week after the beginning of season two. The event will last three weeks and end on Jan. 4, just after the new year. Players should keep an eye on the in-game shop since new bundles and individual cosmetics are expected to be available each week for purchase with Overwatch Coins.
Players will be able to earn extra rewards celebrating the end of 2022 by logging in between Dec. 20 and Jan. 4. A Twitch drop event will also be released during the Winter Wonderland event, rewarding the Festive D.Va victory pose and Legendary-tier Sleighing D.Va skin, though this begins on Dec. 25.
Fans won’t have to go too long without a special limited-time event, either. The Year of the Rabbit will start shortly thereafter on Jan. 17. That event will run until Feb. 6.
