Halloween Event Overwatch 2: Celebrating The Spooky Season
It’s that time of year again – the leaves are falling, the air is getting cooler, and Halloween is just around the corner. And for fans of the popular online game Overwatch 2, that means it’s time for the annual Halloween event. As someone who has been playing Overwatch for years, I was excited to dive into the Halloween festivities and see what new surprises awaited me.
The Basics of the Halloween Event
The Halloween event in Overwatch 2 typically runs for a few weeks in October and includes a variety of spooky-themed game modes, skins, and other goodies. In past years, we’ve seen everything from the Junkenstein’s Revenge game mode to pumpkin-themed skins for our favorite heroes. And this year is no different – there are plenty of new things to explore.
New Game Modes and Skins
One of the things I look forward to most during the Halloween event is the new game modes. This year, we have a new PVE mode called “Kanezaka Challenge,” which features a new map and plenty of spooky enemies to fight. We also have a new game mode called “Vengeful Ghost,” which puts a fun twist on the traditional team deathmatch mode.
And of course, there are plenty of new skins to collect. My personal favorite is the new Witch Mercy skin, which features Mercy in a cute witch costume and a broomstick staff. But there are plenty of other great skins to explore as well, from the creepy new skins for Reaper and Symmetra to the whimsical new skin for Wrecking Ball.
The Events Table and Celebrations
One of the things I appreciate about the Halloween event is how much effort Blizzard puts into making it feel like a real celebration. There are plenty of fun decorations and spooky touches throughout the game, from the cobwebs and jack-o-lanterns in the main menu to the Halloween-themed voice lines that our favorite heroes get to use.
But the real centerpiece of the Halloween event is the events table, which is where you can find all of the different game modes and challenges that are available during the event. This year’s events table is packed with fun challenges and rewards, from the “Trick or Treat” challenge that rewards you with a cute new spray to the “Monster Mash” challenge that rewards you with a new player icon.
