Overwatch’s Winter Wonderland brings a snowball fight to Blizzard’s blockbuster

If the real snow is making you want to stay inside, Overwatch’s new holiday extravaganza can bring you some white Christmas cheer without having to venture out into the elements.

Winter Wonderland, the holiday event for Blizzard’s team-based shooter on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, is now live. It adds new cosmetics, including costumes, animations, and sprays, for its cast that players can unlock through loot boxes. You can earn those either by leveling up, winning games in the Arcade mode, or by purchasing them. For Blizzard, these special events gives players an enticing reason to keep playing and potentially spend more money.
