Blizzard has been mum about "Overwatch" Christmas Event up until now. However, there are recent leaks which reveal the improvements that developers have poured into the game for their next release.Reports say Blizzard will announce the Christmas Event today or on December 13, however, as of writing, there is still no official news from the company.

 Fans were able to dig deep into the leaks and found out that there are notable improvements in "Overwatch" items, theme sounds, skins and maps.  The theme music was a tad different from the previous one. The leak came from fans on Reddit, linking each sound and music as possible themes to be included in "Overwatch" Christmas Event release.

Aside from the music file, there are also four new maps to be released on "Overwatch" Christmas Event which were leaked by dataminers which can be viewed through the video down below. One of the maps is similar to Junkenstein's Revenge while another is seen to have Christmas splashed all over it; think: winter. All of the other maps' details were not disclosed since they did not come out very clearly.

Fans are excited to finally get a hold of these new features but they are also asking about who gets to have the Santa skin. This was brought by "Overwatch" social media post after the game was released in December 2014; they are eyeing to see Santa actively participating in the game.

Aside from this, fans desire to see Roadhog turn into the Santa they long for in "Overwatch" Christmas Event. This is for one major thing: Roadhog has an undeniably huge belly. Aside from this, Roadhog also rocks a white hair, which is similar to Santa's. The downside? His face has always been covered. Roadhog aside, fans would also want to see Winston and Reinhardt turn into the much-desired Santa for "Overwatch" Christmas Event.
