Overwatch winter event begins December 13 for an a-Mei-zing Christmas time

Over the watch and through the team kills, to Sombra’s house we go.

Overwatch’s Twitter account has teased a new in-game event, this time centered around the December holidays. The tweet includes an animated GIF of a Christmas card showing the King’s Row map decked out in snow and lights and shows a starting date of December 13. These in-game events add new, limited-time cosmetic content to the team-based shooter on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, which gives gamers extra incentive to keep playing. And for those doing some holiday shopping, it could give them a little extra push to give the gift of Overwatch.
