Game modes from previous years become playable once again such as Yeti Hunter, pitting five Meis against once superpowered Winston, and Mei’s Snowball Offensive, the six-on-six brawl where everyone is Mei and anyone can take one hit but can only shoot one snowball at a time.

The new mode for Overwatch this year is Snowball Deathmatch, which is an eight-person free-for-all where everyone is Mei but can store three snowballs before needing to refill. Players can also catch incoming snowballs and add it to their ammunition.

Alongside the new event is new cosmetic skins and other items such as emotes, voice lines, sprays and intros highlighted in the trailer below.

Players can also earn a specific skin by winning nine games each week during the three weeks of the event. Week one offers the Ugly Sweater Soldier 76 skin, week two offers the Holly Moira skin, and week three offers the Snow Angel Mercy skin.

The Overwatch Winter Wonderland 2019 event begins today and runs until Jan. 2, 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
