Every December, Blizzard hosts the specialOverwatchWinter Wonderland event to celebrate the holidays. And like with any specialOverwatchevent, Winter Wonderland brings with it some brand new cosmetic items for players to unlock. While fans are still waiting for a full reveal of all the new Winter Wonderland skins, Blizzard has given them a sneak peek by showing off the new Sigma Winter Wonderland skin.
Since thenew tank hero Sigmajoined theOverwatchroster just this past year, Winter Wonderland 2019 marks the first opportunity for him get a holiday-themed skin for the hero-shooter.

With theOverwatchWinter Wonderland 2019 event starting so soon, it’s unclear if Blizzard will be previewing other new skins for the event before it officially launches. The more likely scenario is thatOverwatchfans will just have to wait for Winter Wonderland 2019 to kick off on December 10 to get the chance to look at the rest of the new skins.
WhileOverwatchfans wait to see the rest of the new Winter Wonderland 2019 skins, they can come up with their own concepts. That’s exactly what one fan did when they created their ownWrecking Ball Christmas skinthat transforms Hammond’s ball into a snow globe. This skin concept makes Hammond’s ball see-through, which would make it one of the more complex skins inOverwatch, though it will be interesting to see if Blizzard comes up with anything quite as that creative.
When theOverwatchWinter Wonderland2019 event wraps up, the next event players have to look forward to in the game will be the annual Chinese New Year event. 2020 is the Year of the Rat, so it seems likely that fans can look forward to some new cosmetics for Junkrat at the very least.
WithOverwatch 2on the horizon, one has to wonder if Blizzard will start running new seasonal events in the game. Since all of the cosmetics inOverwatchcarry over toOverwatch 2, it seems unlikely that Blizzard will start doing different events, but we won’t know for sure until the game launches.
