Winter Wonderland 2022 Game Modes

This year, Overwatch 2 fans can enjoy three different modes during Winter Wonderland, two of which have already appeared in the game, and one new one.

The first one is Mei’s Snowball Offensive. Only now, Mei isn't spraying out a stream of frost or charging up for an icicle hit. She shoots snowballs for instant knockouts. This mode can be played in either 6v6 style or in a FFA setting.

The second is Mei’s Yeti Hunt, the 5v1 "raid boss" mode. Five heroes are fighting against overpowered Winston. There are no changes to freshen this mode up in 2022.

The new one is a game mode in Freezethat Elimination. Your goal is to freeze all opponents in this mode. They'll be frozen in place indefinitely after elimination by you.
