Winter

The 2024 Winter event started in December 17 and is currently ongoing.

It adds a new main menu animation, remixed music for the menu and shops, and Winter-themed decorations in the streets, buildings, and Curiosity Shop. The Shopkeeper features a Santa mask and unique lines. In addition, the Denizens are modelled after snowmen. Dynamo and the Newscaster have unique holiday voice lines.

All the mainline Heroes received unique Winter skins, which can be unlocked by completing their respective challenge.

Skin challenges

These challenges can be achieved only in a normal match or a labs match, not in a custom game or against bots. The conditions for the challenge must be completed in one match.

Winter skins are tracked in-game by a Santa hat icon in the main menu that shows how many skins have already been unlocked. Heroes with Winter skins have the Santa hat icon and a red background in the Heroes page.

The skins can be tested in sandbox mode or custom games (with cheats enabled) with the console commands ent_fire player setbodygroup hat,1 and ent_fire player setbodygroup xmas,1.
