All Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland Event rewards
As mentioned earlier, the details pertaining to the event rewards at the moment are fairly limited. However, here's what the community has been able to identify so far - the Epic Ice Queen Brigitte skin, Snowman Head Weapon Charm, and the Festive Wreath Weapon Charm.
Besides these cosmetic items, fans can also expect to receive Christmas-themed titles, cards, and more. The section below discusses the three known rewards in the game.
Epic Ice Queen Brigitte skin
Brigitte is receiving a complete makeover along with her weapon and shield, with her entire attire being covered in thick frost. Taking away the character's warm energy thanks to her red hair and her default yellow-grey outfit, the designers even gave Brigitte a crown to stay true to the 'Ice Queen' title.
As of right now, there's no information on how players can unlock it, but it may likely be available for free. To acquire it, gamers will have to either participate in the event or complete specific event-related challenges.
Snowman Head Weapon Charm
As the name suggests, this weapon charm features a snowman's head with a black hat. Fans will likely be able to unlock this by completing various Winter Wonderland challenges and once obtained, they can equip it with their favorite Hero's weapon.
Festive Wreath Weapon Charm
Lastly, we come to the Festive Wreath Weapon Charm. Like an actual wreath, this charm appears to be an arrangement of flowers and leaves in a circular shape with a red ribbon tied in the form of a bow at the bottom.
It's expected to be available as a reward for completing special tasks in-game or simply participating in the Winter Wonderland Event.
When does Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland Event go live?
Overwatch 2's Winter Wonderland Event will be a part of Season 2. It goes live on December 13, 2022, and will remain active until January 4, 2023. Unlike the Halloween Event, which ran for a duration of two weeks, the upcoming Christmas Event will last for over three weeks. This will ensure that fans have enough time to enjoy the game's holiday theme and unlock the event's numerous rewards.
This is all there's to know about the upcoming Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland Event rewards. Fans are speculating that more rewards and incentives will be disclosed once the event goes live. Shortly after this event ends, the Lunar New Year event will begin on January 17, 2022, and will run until February 1, 2023, marking the end of Season 2.
