In the first week of December, Blizzard let us in on the upcoming Holiday Event for Overwatch. Since the announcement of the event beginning on December 13th, the Overwatch community has been in a frenzy – especially the community members that are data miners.
A data miner who goes by the name, Kjasi, housed their findings on FacePunch forums, which led way to a number of predictions.
First, Kjasi found four new map files, which means that there will likely be one event map and possibly three holiday-themed maps. In addition to the maps, Kjasi also found a folder titled "Event_3' which might hint at heroes getting a spray, a voice-line, and a victory pose, just like they did for Halloween.
There was also a suggestion that the following heroes will either get a costume, an emote, or a highlight intro:
- Widowmaker
- Reinhardt
- Mercy
- Symmetra
- Reaper
- Sombra
- Roadhog
- D.Va
- Ana
- Soldier: 76
- Lúcio
On top of that, the heroes below will two of the following items: a costume, an emote, and a highlight intro.
- Winston
- McCree
- Mei
- Pharah
- Zarya
- Tracer
- Zenyatta
Torbjörn was said to be getting an emote, a costume and a highlight intro.
