Overwatch’s annual Winter Wonderland event is back, this time introducing a set of weekly challenges and rewards alongside a collection of new character skins.
This year, Blizzard has added five new legendary skins including Reindeer Orisa, Sleighing D.Va, Snowman Wrecking Ball, Ice Wraith Genji, and Snowboarder Baptiste. Skins from previous Winter Wonderland events are also back but players will be able to get them at a discount.

The usual brawl events are also back once again, such as the 4v4 Freezethaw Elimination, Mei’s Snowball Offensive, Yeti Hunt, and Snowball Deathmatch. Players will also be able to unlock rewards by completing a series of weekly challenges in Quick Play, Arcade, or Competitive Play. Winning games counts as playing two games, while rewards include an array of player icons, Epic skins, and festive sprays.
Overwatch Winter Wonderland is available now on PC and consoles and will run until January 6, 2022.
Elsewhere, Dark Horse Comics has released the latest Overwatch: New Blood digital comic which continues the saga of Cole Cassidy. This time, issue two reunites the cowboy with two familiar faces, Pharah and Ana. The first issue was released in November shortly after the renaming of the Overwatch hero Jesse McCree, who was officially re-dubbed Cassidy. The name change was implemented following the ongoing harassment lawsuit against Activision Blizzard since the character’s old name was named after and associated with a former employee.
