The Halloween event will take place again in 2017 in Overwatch . The date for the Overwatch event is set, and we will show you the first skins here.
Just this afternoon, we speculated about some possible leaks for the upcoming Halloween event , and now there is already certainty. Also in 2017, Halloween will be celebrated big in Overwatch!
As Blizzard announced on Twitter, the “Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017” event will take place from October 10 to October 31.
Overwatch Halloween 2017 starts on October 10
There aren’t many details about the changes to the event yet. The short 7-second teaser gives a first glimpse of two new skins, which are likely of legendary quality and can be obtained during the event. One is a “Van Helsing” skin for McCree and the other is a Dracula-inspired skin for Reaper.
As usual, there will be special loot boxes during the Halloween event that can only be purchased or earned during the 3 weeks of the event.
If Blizzard follows the example of the Summer Games, then the skins from last year will be offered at a reduced price for credits, whereas the new skins will have triple the price – that is still significantly better than being completely dependent on luck.
In addition to skins, emotes, and all the other cosmetic frills, the game mode “Junkenstein’s Revenge” will likely return as well. At least the event’s title image suggests that.
In a typical “King of the Hill” defense, players must fight against Junkenstein and his minions as a team of four. That includes a lot of “zombie omnics” and some fallen heroes, such as the evil alchemist Mercy or the horrifying monster Roadhog.

By the way, the Overwatch team is not subjected to corporate bosses – at least that’s what they say.
