Dubbed the Overwatch Winter Wonderland, Blizzard outlined all the new additions to the game. At the moment the download size is 2.79GB on the PS4 and reportedly around 1.5GB on the PC. Winter Wonderland would be a successful event each year if it just let my friends and I play in the unique maps.As we reported earlier, the Overwatch Christmas update is now live. These maps showcase the highs of Blizzard’s environmental design and the joy in sending a Pharah rocket into a happy snowman’s face. The best part - and I will accept no arguments here - about Winter Wonderland is that it brings three winter-themed map makeovers to the rotation: snowy King’s Row, snowy Hanamura, and snowy Blizzard World. If that’s your thing, go for it, but I’ll keep trying to herd this group of Meis into a victory against the yeti. It’s a one-hit-kill arena where they added the ability to catch and throw snowballs back at each other without realizing that it’s just not a fun mode. Mei’s Snowball Offensive is just maddening for the most part.It can also be maddening as you watch your ally Meis walk straight into the Winston, or if you get unlucky with a group of Meis that strategically trap you as the big yeti himself. Mei’s Yeti Hunt is a 4v1 hunt between a group of Meis and a Winston that has the potential to be fun.

You can earn easy loot boxes via both Mei’s Yeti Hunt and Mei’s Snowball Offensive game modes. Overwatch Winter Wonderland begins December 15. Waddle your way to victory as Penguin Mei. We’ve already had a look at an adorable new Penguin Mei on Twitter, and expect lots more teasers on the coolest skins and emotes of the holiday season before the event goes live. You’ll be able to earn these covetable older skins - and the new ones for 2020, of course - by collecting the Winter Wonderland loot boxes. We already had an adorable little Tracer, an owl-themed Ana, a sizzling Hanzo, and a terrifying Winston. Winter Wonderland is an event that’s about the chilly part of the year where you have a good excuse to cover yourself in scarves, hats, and coats, and you can take a look at the skins that Blizzard has introduced in previous years to see the theme in action. It also has a few game modes that will test your skill at Mei (as well as your patience). Overwatch’s Winter Wonderland 2020 event will celebrate the coming of winter and its respective holidays with tons of new skins and other cosmetics starting on December 15.
