While limited-time cosmetics and rewards are available during a full month of sale, Holo-Day Bash鈥檚 main attraction is the return of the fan-favorite Winter Express LTM. In this round-based game mode, three squads battle each other to control a train traversing around World鈥檚 Edge.
The re-introduction of Winter Express allowed players to revisit some iconic World鈥檚 Edge locations since the gameplay occurs on a previous version of the map. However, after the limited-time mode went live, players encountered various bugs that marred the gameplay experience.
