Overwatch 2 is celebrating the festive season with the Winter Wonderland event, which started on 17 December and will last until 6 January 2025. This year's event brings not only traditional winter activities but also a new experimental 6v6 mode that promises interesting changes to the gameplay.

Here's What We Know

As part of Winter Wonderland, players can enjoy classic modes such as Mei's Snowball Offensive, as well as new challenges that offer unique rewards. Among them are new character skins, festive badges and other cosmetic items that will help create a festive mood.

The experimental 6v6 mode allows teams to consist of two tanks, two attack heroes and two support heroes. This innovation aims to explore new strategic possibilities and game dynamics, which can significantly change the way team play is approached.

Players can also take advantage of special holiday bundles in the store, which include exclusive items and skins. It is important to note that the event offers free gifts for all participants who log in during the festive period. If you play 3, 6, and 9 games, you will receive festive costumes.
