The Halloween event in Overwatch is just around the corner. Now there are the first images of the new skins that you can look forward to.
Skins on Twitter: The official Twitter account of Overwatch revealed the first skins for the Halloween Horror Event 2018 a few hours ago. Moira and Doomfist are the lucky heroes who get to enjoy the first costumes.

With Moira and Doomfist, two of the newer heroes of Overwatch are getting a skin. Both skins are legendary skins, which you can get in the Halloween loot boxes at the start of the Halloween event on October 9 or will likely be available for purchase for 3000 credits.
Swamp Monster Doomfist
Doomfist transforms with his Swamp Monster skin into a menacing fishman with gills, fins, and jewelry made of shells. His weapon, the Doomfist, is adorned with grotesque spikes, reminiscent of deep-sea crabs.
As a special detail, the eyes of Swamp Monster Doomfist are pitch black and pupil-less.
Just keep swimming.
Make a splash as SWAMP MONSTER DOOMFIST (Legendary)!

Banshee Moira
In keeping with her Irish heritage, the healer Moira has a skin that corresponds to the legends of her homeland. Banshees are ghostly women from the fairy realm in Irish folklore who herald a coming death.
Banshee Moira wears jewelry made of bones, rune-embellished clothing, and is surrounded by a creepy, purple light. The eyes of the Banshee are white in contrast to those of Doomfist and also pupil-less.
An ominous portent.
Haunt down your enemies as BANSHEE MOIRA (Legendary)!

We were partly right!
From a leak, we at Mein-MMO had already speculated about which heroes might receive new skins for Halloween. Doomfist was one of them, although we suspected a demon for him (the sign in the upper right).
For Moira, we did not foresee a skin. The sign for her skin (upper middle) was assigned to the “Spider Queen” and we speculated a skin for Widowmaker or Brigitte.
With the “Banshee” skin, it may already be clarified what was hidden behind the working title “Ghost”. For your information, four skins were already leaked by name:
- Spider Queen
- Bride
- Ghost
- Slasher
Did you expect to see Moira or the Swamp Monster? What do you think, which heroes will have the remaining skins announced? Leave us a comment or join our Facebook group and visit our Overwatch page on Facebook.
Last year there were cool skins for Mei and Co., which you can purchase again this year. These are the 8 skins from Halloween Horror 2017.
