6v6: The more the merrier!
If you were looking for good challenges, let's make your day. Fight new 6v6 battles on King's Row. Each team will have two tanks to make it more interesting. The rules are 2-2-2, which you already know, but the new heroes will give them a special touch. The patch notes They will include some balance changes to make things fairer, so read them to better prepare yourself. The experiment ends on January 6, so form a group to play with your best friends.
Play your favorite winter brawls
When you click on your friends' BattleTag names to invite them to play, you'll find your favorite winter brawls in the Arcade ready to give and take.
The first on the list is Mei: Operation Snowball. Whether you're playing 5v5 eliminations or a free-for-all deathmatch, the snowballs won't stop falling. Then, go after a carnivorous yeti in an adrenaline-fueled 5v1 brawl, because Mei: Yeti Hunt is back. And if that's not enough for you, queue up for the Fatal Freeze elimination game, Overwatch's version of tag, but with non-permanent eliminations, as your allies can unfreeze you back into the action. Whichever winter brawl you choose, you're guaranteed fun every day!
New challenges and new gifts
It doesn't matter if you play Arcade, quick games or competitive, because you can get incredibly generous new rewards. It is now possible to obtain Hanzo's Casual skin by completing the Winterland challenges. There are also new graffiti and cards to decorate, among other surprises. In previous Winterland events, you could get a new skin for free, but starting December 19, you'll have the chance to get THREE!
There will be three new challenges with which you will get three legendary skins. After completing three matches, you'll earn the Holiday Puppet Echo Legendary skin. If you play a total of six games, you can get Cassidy's new legendary skin and new highlight, which will make you feel very comfortable. If you play nine games, you'll earn Widowmaker's Winter Chic Legendary Skin and Featured Play. Don't forget that victories count for two, so it sure doesn't cost anything!
Lastly, we have a freshly made new premium skin for those playing Mercy. Get the Happy Holly Mercy pack in the store and you will see how it leaves no one indifferent. We will offer other popular Inverlandia options so you can have a good time this holiday season with your favorite heroes.
Very festive Twitch drops
In case that doesn't already seem like a great gift to you, we have another surprise that you will love. Starting December 24, there will be Twitch Drops to celebrate the holidays properly. Watch up to 15 hours of your favorite streamers to earn sprays, player icons, and cards. There won't be any seafood, but there will be three more festive skins to add to your collection. So link your Twitch account to Battle.net before January 5 to avoid running out of Holiday Drops.
