Now onto the part of the season that jingles, sparkles, and occasionally bursts into confetti. Winter Wonderland is back from December 9 – January 7 with Mischief & Magic, the beloved prop hunt game mode, on a familiar winterized map. For the first two weeks you will hide as props or hunt down your disguised foes with as much holiday spirit as you can muster while firing a weapon indoors (*please don’t actually fire weapons inside).

Halfway through the event, the magic shifts. Props wake up, stretch their little limbs, and decide they have had enough. Mischief & Magic Wonderland breathes life into your disguises, letting you fight back with explosive charm. Gingerbread bites. Snowmen detonate. The holiday spirit positively combusts. Through it all you can earn Frozen Demon Junkrat and Frozen Mountaineer Cassidy, track your progress in the Event Hub, and enjoy holiday chaos with friends who definitely did not see that candy cane coming.

This year also introduces a festive three-path reward system that lets you chase the cosmetics that speak to your style. Complete challenges across Winter Wonderland and other modes to earn Winter Cookies, then spend them on three tracks: Jingle Tracer, Krampus Junkrat, and Santa Claus Torbjorn. Each path has its own unique rewards, milestones, and personality to let you earn at your own pace and build that warm fuzzy sense of holiday joy while you play.

Collect your Cookies and bring some cozy winter fun to your fights December 9 through January 7.

Every good winter brings a storm. Ours is Vendetta, the first melee DPS Hero in Overwatch history! She arrives with cold ambition in her grip and Talon’s legacy in her wake. Once denied her inheritance as Antonio Bartalotti’s daughter, she fought her way through the Colosseo pits with nothing but ruthlessness and a hunger for more. Now she stands on the battlefield with blade in hand and a plan unfolding.

Vendetta thrives where the fight gets tight. She lunges, slices, leaps, and closes distance with a style that feels regal (if royal families still solved their problems with live steel). Each strike carries her spite. Each movement carries her confidence. And every victory will feel like you earned it. Her kit blends mobility and power, flair and fury. She is inevitable. And she’s here to claim vengeance and carve her place in your highlight reel. Arriva la punizione!
