Overwatch developer Blizzard is expected to launch the 2021 Winter Wonderland event later this week.

The Winter Wonderland event was originally set to start on December 14 at 6:00 PM UK time.

However, Blizzard has since postponed the event by a few days, meaning it’s more likely to start at 6pm on December 16.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to postpone the start of the event by just a few days,” reads a Blizzard message.

“Personal opinion, but the art team really pulled it off with this year’s legendary skins.”

Needless to say, the upcoming Overwatch event will bring back numerous Christmas-themed game modes.

This includes Snowball Deathmatch, Yeti Hunter, Mei’s Snowball Offensive and Freezethaw Elimination.

Likewise, Overwatch fans can unlock festive items and skins, including a handful of brand new outfits.

You can also purchase previous Overwatch Winter Wonderland skins at discounted rates.

Last year’s event also gave players the opportunity to unlock an exclusive Junkrat skin and items.

If Blizzard follows the same pattern as last year, the exclusive skin for 2021 can be unlocked by winning games in Quick Play, Arcade and Competitive.

New Overwatch Winter Wonderland rewards will likely be added as the event progresses.

As for the bonus game modes, Mei’s Snowball Offensive is an old favorite in which teams of six compete in a highly charged snowball fight.

Work together to defeat your enemies! In this 6v6 brawl, everyone plays as Mei, and her endothermic blaster is modified to fire a single super-powered snowball.

“Taking out an enemy only requires one hit, but a miss can be costly!”

Last year Blizzard introduced a brand new 4-v-4 game mode titled Freezethaw Elimination.

Blizzard explains more: “Get ready to freeze your enemies in this brand new 4v4 battle!

“Instead of dying, players are frozen in blocks of ice that their teammates can thaw.

Freeze everyone on the enemy team to secure a win, but beware – a thawed enemy could turn the tables and put you on ice instead. Earn new achievements and unlock unique sprays to prove your worth in the icy battle!”

Yeti Hunter is a unique game mode in which teams of five compete against a player-controlled Yeti.

Express Online will keep this story updated as Blizzard provides an official start date for the Winter Wonderland event.
