It’s the Halloween season, and Blizzard is adding spooky elements to its games including Overwatch. BlizzCon 2017 attendees and Virtual Ticket holders will also be getting new in-game items like Overwatch BlizzCon 2017 Winston skin and three new skins for StarCraft II. Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone will have Hallow’s End events later this month. Additionally, there will also be a new Diablo III patch with updates for several classes.
Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017
The Halloween Terror event starts from October 10th to November 1st and features over 50 new seasonal items like new skins, intros and emotes. New skins include Dracula Reaper, Dragon Symmetra, Totally ’80s Zarya, and Van Helsing McCree. In addition, there is a PvE brawl, Junkenstein’s Revenge. A new endless mode has been added with a leaderboard that honors the players who can last the longest against the evil doctor.
Cultist Zenyatta
One of my favorite new Halloween skins for Overwatch is Cultist Zenyatta. Cthulhu should be very happy with this one.
Dragon Symmetra
My second favorite new skin is Dragon Symmetra, and yes, this is by far my favorite skin from the character.
Totally ’80s Zarya
There’s something about the ’80s going along well with Halloween, and Zarya seems to think so with her Totally ’80s skin.

Once Hallow’s End begins, all Loot Chests you earn through progression (except Hero-specific Chests) will be replaced with Hallow’s End Loot Chests. Weekly Brawl Rewards earned after October 20 until the event concludes will also award one Hallow’s End Chest. These special event Loot Chests will now guarantee at least one of the limited-time Hallow’s End items—which include portraits, sprays, skins, and mounts!
