Overwatch 2 fans are counting down to the launch of this year’s Winter Wonderland event. The next Overwatch event has a release date of December 13th and 6pm GMT UK launch time. The Winter Wonderland event is the first of its kind during Season 2, which launched just last week. It lasts for three weeks, ending on January 4th. It will be replaced by the all-new Battle for Olympus event.
As part of Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland event, fans of the game will be able to play several limited-time game modes, including Mei’s Snowball Offensive.
“In this melee, Mei’s Endothermic Blaster has been modified to fire a single super powerful snowball,” the official description reads.
Taking down an enemy only takes one hit, but a miss can be costly. Once your weapon is empty, find the nearest snowdrift to reload.
When the battle starts to heat up, you can activate Mei’s Ultimate, which turns her cannon into an automatic snowball launcher, allowing you to fire continuously while your enemies scatter.
There’s also a good chance a Yeti Hunt game mode will pop up.
This particular brawl pits five players against one yeti player, who uses Winston’s abilities. It is somewhat similar to Evolve.
The Yeti must gather flesh to unleash the powerful Primal Rage ability, making it immune to Mei’s freezing abilities and granting other, more powerful bonuses to eliminating Hunters.
Mei players have a new tool in their arsenal, too: the ultimate “Yeti Trap” ability to root their quarry into place.
“Yeti players must survive long enough to eliminate the enemy Meis before they take him down. Which side will emerge victorious from the snow?”
Fans can also expect festive cosmetics to appear in the item shop, as well as Christmas decorations and snow across the various maps.
