That's right Overwatch fans! It's time for another winter event! You know what that means! Oh, you don't? Well, you're in luck, cuz I got the straight up deets.

The new Overwatch winter event is called Winter Wonderland, and it's live through January 1st!  As usual, there are some new seasonal skins (check em out below), over 150 items in the new loot boxes (yay! Loot boxes!), including all the items from last year, which are 1/3 cheaper than they were in good ol 2016. There are five heroes that got the Legendary Winter Wonderland skins this year: Ana, Bastion, Junkrat, Sombra, and Hanzo.

Skins are great and all, but the big thing is the new winter brawl, which is called "Yeti Hunt". It's a five on one fight, pitting five Mei "hunters" against one "Yeti" Winston. The Yeti must kill the Hunters five times to win, while the Hunters only have to kill the Yeti once to claim victory. The Brawl takes place on a re-skinned Nepal Village map, which is fitting for a down and dirty yeti hunt.


Now, this sounds quite unfair, right? Five on one is rough, but consider this; Yeti Winston has increased health and armor, making him a tough monster to drop. On top of that, delicious, nourishing meat packs are sprinkled around the map for him, which will fuel his ultimate. Mei has her usual abilities, but her Ice Wall and Ice Block times are reduced, which helps. Of course, she can only freeze Yeti Winston when he's in Rage mode. Doh!

Winter Wonderland runs through January 1, 2018.
