Overwatch Christmas Event potentially leaked!

Its time to have yourself a merry little Christmas! Overwatch has just potentially had its Christmas Event details partially leaked by a French site, and translated on Reddit. The details from the leak tell us who is getting skins and emotes, as well as a couple more details. Deck the halls, Christmas is coming!

Overwatch Christmas Event potentially leaked!
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, the Overwatch Christmas event has just been apparently leaked by a well-known French website. The details have been translated on Reddit by a user named ILOFRICoco, and the post reads the following:

Hi !

I just found this on a famous french website.

https://overwatch.judgehype.com/news/nouvelles-informations-sur-l-evenement-de-noel-en-provenance-du-datamine-149676/

I'll translate it for you :

Skin for Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Mercy, Symmetra, Reaper, Sombra, Roadhog, D.Va, Ana, Soldier:76, Lucio, Torbjorn

Emote or hightlight intro for Winston, McCree, Mei, Pharah, Zarya, Tracer, Zenyatta, Torbjorn

Spray/victory pose/voice-line for all heroes

3 maps with the Christmas theme (like Hollywood)

I didn't see it on Reddit, and there is no reason for Judgehype to do a fake leak like this, so ..

Have a nice evening 😉

This leak has obviously not been confirmed, but the details shown were apparently datamined from the current build of the PTR, where new content is tested before it is put into the live game. The French site also theorizes that a new PvE event similar to Junkenstein's Revenge will be added called "Revenge of of Schakalstein". This is a very odd name indeed, and could be either left over code from Junkenstein's Revenge, or a bad translation from Google.

They also theorize that, due to the nature of Blizzard's seasonal events, the Christmas event will run for 3 weeks, starting on the 13th of December and finishing on January 3rd. If this is the case, we will most likely see the developers tease something about this event very soon.

    The French site seems to have gotten their information from this site: https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1491521&p=51448500&viewfull=1#post51448500
