For this year's Winter Wonderland, Blizzard has a few ice-cold game modes in the Arcade! First up is Mei's Snowball Battle, where instead of shooting a frost ray or ice projectiles, Mei can instantly take out her opponents with snowballs in a 6v6 Elimination or 8-player FFA Deathmatch.

Next is Mei's Yeti Hunt, a unique 5v1 boss fight-style brawl. A yeti steals food from the local village, and it's up to a team of five Mei games to lay traps and put the rampaging yeti on ice. But be careful: if he steals too much meat, he goes berserk and can effortlessly take out the entire enemy team. So split up and lay your traps to catch the yeti!

Last but not least, Frost Dew Elimination is the Overwatch 2 version of Freeze Hunt. Here you have to freeze all enemies and eliminate them that way. At the same time, you can bring your own team members back into the game by unfreezing them. In this frantic elimination game mode, a match isn't over until you've frozen the blood in the veins of all your opponents.
