When does the Halloween event start in Overwatch?
Players will be able to dive into all of the content that Blizzard will be adding to Overwatch in the upcoming Halloween Terror event beginning on Tuesday, October 9th. Fans of the Blizzard's title will then have until Wednesday, October 31st to collect as many cosmetic items as they can and participate in what is expected to be the return of the fan favorite player versus environment game mode of Junkenstein's Revenge that will provide plenty of terror for players.
In addition to the confirmation of the start and end dates for the event, it appears that Blizzard will be giving the map of Chateau Guillard a menacing and terrifying makeover for the title's next in-game event.
It is also expected that Blizzard will bring back older Halloween themed skins from past years for players to have another chance at acquiring them and adding them to their Overwatch cosmetic collections. From Witch Mercy to Junkrat's Junkenstein skin and Frankenstein Roadghog, there will be plenty of legacy skins fro players to obtain. However, Blizzard will likely have a whole collection of new skins and other cosmetic items available for players to get their hands on.
