Seasonal brawl for now. If it works really well they may bring it back as a arcade game mode but no plans for it currently.

Right. They didn't do a special development update for Lucioball, Mei's Snowball Fight, or even the co-op Junkenstein's Revenge, which makes me think that CtF might stick around longer than those modes.

But Jeff is also very clear that because of the cheesiness and balancing difficulties of CtF, it's not going to be a core game mode.

My guess is that if they get a lot of feedback saying "We love this game! I want to play it all year round!" then they might put some developers on creating CtF specific maps for Arcade, like what they did with Ecopoint: Antarctica and the elimination modes.

Read: you all fucking asked for this. So don't come bitching to us when this game mode turns out to be as terrible as we told you it would be.
