As of this writing, the blog post isn't up yet. Here are some of the details based on datamined stuff (will edit once with official word/blog).
Spoiler
- There's nothing new in the Winter Express mode. Same map, same scoring system other than new Christmas themed team icons and the regenerating shields has been added.
- Recolors in a collection event is worrying me. Also why two Gibby recolors?
- This is a thematic event turned into a collection event so these skins won't be added in the regular pool.
- There will still be another collection event with an heirloom.
- So basically they switched the schedule of the thematic and collection event, then called the thematic event as collection event so these won't be added in the regular set of skins you can buy anytime. I guess the mythic skins aren't selling as much as the heirlooms so they switched it.
Wraith skin looks good but the OG white voidwalker skin still looks better IMO.

@Cheese9Man Definitely agree on the OG Voidwalker. It's my favorite for Wraith. I wish I could use crafting metals for the Riding Dirty skin for Octane

mythic skins are just really rare skins. once you get one you need to unlock the other two skins which makes the third mythic skin extra rare.
which seems like a nice idea but then people say they arent very good skins just rare.
now if they were nessy if wattsons third mythic skin is nessy then thats something. or blood hounds third skin is hes a giant crow that would be good and wraiths third skin is shes a giant knife, this would be good. i would like that so dragons that breathe fire, nessys that breath fire etc these would be good skins but just ugly plain skins no.

With heirlooms being so rare, I'm not sure Prestiege skins are something to get that wrapped up about. I mean, even with the new levels, you have to play A FAT TON, and then maybe you'll get one thing to upgrade. There's a good chance you won't get to have a prestiege skin and heirloom weapon on the same character, now, or even when they come out with new skins. Mostly, so, I think it's all just an easy way to hype and make people super grind.
Having said that, sure, the skins look good. :P

@Cheese9Man Omg Winter express for the third year in a row. Yaaay...
I'll never buy a Mythic skin lol. And the free rewards are trash. No new map POI either.
Overall i can say that i'm pretty disgusted with this "event".
P.S. I guess this is what they meant with "lot of content during this long season". Not sure why i was expecting something new lol.
