Yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment kicked off what may very well be the last Winter Wonderland event in Overwatch. As we're all basically standing around wondering when Overwatch 2 will be released, after having been introduced to the game at BlizzCon 2019, fans of the game have been kind of wondering whether or not this will be the last event we see in the game. If it takes another year for the sequel to come out, we'll be shocked, which is why we're guessing this may be the last version in this game. As you might suspect this time around, it's a lot of the same from previous events for you to collect again, along with a new set of cosmetics and skins, new weekly challenges, and a new brawl game you can play called Freezethaw Elimination which is 4-v-4. You can check out more about it below as the event will run until January 5th, 2021.
