An earlier leak about "Overwatch" special Christmas event was confirmed after developer Blizzard finally gave in and announced a holiday-themed update.
Blizzard revealed several juicy details about this event, including when "Overwatch" Christmas event will go live. A Tweet from Blizzard suggests that December 13th is the date for this update. It is unclear if there will be additional maps that are going to be included since what "Overwatch" taunts so far is a snow-capped version of King's Row.
The said Twitter post reads "You're Invited" fashioned in animated fancy letters, GameSpot said. Although, nothing new for the gaming community, "Overwatch" receives thumbs up because of its prolific events. Players have witnessed special events earlier like Olympics and Halloween updates. This could quantify the possibility of similar approach that "Overwatch" will do to the upcoming Christmas quest.
There could be new "Overwatch" special loot boxes and event-only items that players have to look for. Another possibility is boss fight in event endgame, similar to what happened in "Junkenstein's Revenge."
To recall, GameNGuide reported a leak that emanated from several sound bytes allegedly from a crew recording voice overs for "Overwatch" Christmas event. Then gamers wasted no time in mining information out and discovered a jingle which further cemented the veracity of the said leak.
Also, it is not surprising at all that "Overwatch" community goes loco over this development. This title is one of Blizzards frequently updated game and players are accepting all changes with open arms. Remember that players are still in euphoria out of Halloween event which is in very near proximity to this new offering.
So, have you chosen yet which character are you going to sport come December 13th? "Overwatch" offers a lot of options anyway that it traversed the point where picking one is becoming a challenge. Further, it is easy to loose focus in special events like this because players tend to divert their attention to generous loot boxes that awaits them.
