A new PvE co-op mission and a stockpile of skins
Overwatch 2is ringing in the season of scares with a return to Halloween Terror, its annual Halloween event. The festivities kick off tomorrow, October 25, and run through November 9.
A new limited time co-op missionis in storefor this year, dubbed Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride. The bride, as you’re able to tell from the images, is a special Sombra skin.
With every new event comes a bevy of cosmetics, to both unlock and purchase inOverwatch 2. Special challenges will unlock rewards like a name card, weapon charm, and some Battle Pass XP if you’re still working on it.
As for purchasable cosmetics, the Witch Kiriko bundle is a notable new one arriving in the shop. The newcomer just arrived as the newest hero inOverwatch 2, and now has her own Halloween skin too.
It looks like other sets from previous events will be dropping into the shop as well. So if you’ve been waiting to get that Witch Mercy skin, here’s your shot.
If passively watchingOverwatch 2for freebies is more your style, Blizzard is alsogiving awaya free Legendary Werewolf Winston skin to those who watch six hours ofOverwatch 2on Twitch. ensure to link your account so those hours don’t go to waste.
Ghosts on the payload
One of the promised Double XP weekends is coming up, too. After the launch server woesOverwatch 2experienced, Blizzard ishosting aDouble Match XP weekends on October 28 through 31.
Logging in will also net you the Cursed Captain Reaper skin and Health Pack weapon charm. Basically, there are a lot of reasons Blizzard is putting out there for players to log back on toOverwatch 2.
And whileOverwatch 2hashad trouble getting off the ground, with both longqueue timesand a shadow cast bybroader issuesat Activision Blizzard, there are some nice tidbits here for those who still want to check it out. At the very least, I’m interested to see what their new mission looks like, as the PvE side ofOverwatch 2isstill a ways away.
