"Dataminers have discovered that there are 4 new map files coming to Overwatch. One of them appears to be a holiday event similar to Junkenstein's Revenge, while there will be at least one Christmas/holiday themed map. There might be up to three, but its unclear because of the way the key is coded.

According to the datamine, everyone will be getting a holiday themed spray, voice line and victory pose just like in Halloween.

Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Mercy, Symmetra, Reaper, Sombra, Roadhog, D. Va, Ana, Soldier: 76, and Lucio have been mined to get either a costume, emote, or a highlight intro.

And then these characters will have two of either a costume, emote, and highlight intro: Winston, McCree, Mei, Pharah, Zarya, Tracer, and Zenyatta.

Lastly, Torbjorn is getting all three of an emote, costume, and a highlight intro - which suggests the earlier rumors of Santabjorn being true. "

Pharah and Mercy new costumes? UUUUNGHHHH cant handle the hotness

 

[GunBR]

I need a Xmas skin for our queen Mei

 

[Nuno Pinto]

That's King's Row! Best map <3

 

[Psychoward]

..no trailer?

 

[Blues1990]

If Tracer doesn't get an elf costume with stockings ima cry. She got so little from Halloween

D.Va or Tracer would make a great toy shop elf, for sure. I just want D.Va getting the honours, as her mech can be redesigned to resemble a sleigh or retro toy robot.

 

[Rocketz]

 

[JohnTinker]

Gingerbread Man Roadhog with Candy Cane hook, please.

 

[Roubjon]

..no trailer?

That'll probably come next week.

 

[Psychoward]

That'll probably come next week.

I don't understand that, they did the same with Halloween event. By then I can just boot up the game myself and see all the new stuff lol

 

[BPK]

Grinch Junkrat!

 

[galvenize]

Mercy pays for the dev team's salaries.

This sounds wrong.

 

[StayDead]

My wallet is ready!

 

[Mupod]

enough of the lewd Mercy costumes.

Spoiler

It's Pharah's turn

 

[MUnited83]

Pharah and Mercy new costumes? UUUUNGHHHH cant handle the hotness

Reindeer Pharah pls

 

[Cheat Code]

Worth noting that if the data mining is correct, Junkrat, Genji, Hanzo and Bastion are getting nothing more than the standard voice line, victory pose and spray.

Everyone else will at least get an emote, highlight intro or skin. The mining also implies that there will be 28 "big" items as opposed to Halloween's 18.

 

[Woetyler]

Gotta get that slutty santa outfit for Mercy

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Santa Reinh, with a bag of toys instead of a hammer.

Also an Abominable Snow Winston.


Give this to me Blizzard.

I think junkrat should get a grinch costume

You should add it to the OP too.

 

[Nibel]

Game Of The Year getting better and better

 

[KZXcellent]

Hope Winston finally gets a skin. Hasn't had a new one since launch.

 

[Back-In-Black]

 

[Cheat Code]

Maybe next year, Junkrat was a big deal this Halloween.

I suspect they'll play with the roles a bit next year. Bad Santa Roadhog seems like something that needs to happen after True Santa Torbjorn.

 

[xaosslug]

i hope they change Torb's 'molten CORE!' ult to 'ho, ho, HO!' delivered w/ the same synth-gusto!

Oh, I see they're announcing it before the event goes out instead of four hours after this time around.

i mean. xD

 

[Dead Prince]

watch it only be one map and it's the map they are showing (king's row) to get snow for the event lol.

but fuck me. $50 loaded to get me the loot.
