Overwatch 2 is quickly hosting its first holiday event.
The Overwatch Halloween event is back! However, this is not happening on the Overwatch that everyone is used to, it will take place on Overwatch 2, and the event is expected to take place during Season 1 in October and November of this current year. Overwatch 2 is set to release on October 4, and with its release so close to Halloween, it makes sense to do so now. However, many of us were wondering if Blizzard would even hold the event this year given that the new game had just been released. Another thing many of us wonder is how events might be different in this game compared to the last game. Overwatch 2 will also introduce a brand new game mode during the holiday event.
So far from what we know, Overwatch 2's Halloween event will almost resemble the Halloween events that happened in the original Overwatch. However, Halloween-based changes will be made to maps and skins. Below is an image of some of the skins that have been released so far, one of them being Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride.
Nothing more has been released yet about new skins or any differences in the new game. The Overwatch 2 Halloween event will start from October 28 to November 8, likely followed by a Christmas event in December.

Overwatch 2 is the sequel to the first-person shooter Overwatch, both developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Overwatch has been out since 2016 and will be shut down due to the release of Overwatch 2 on October 4th. It's supposed to be very similar to the original game, while bringing us new experiences, modes, and skins.
Players will be very busy in October when the game releases, not only with the Halloween event but also with the Battle Pass. Overwatch 2's first Battle Pass will have 80 tiers of different content for players to unlock. This will include things like five legendary skins and the grand prize Mythic Genji skin which has been called Cyber Demon Genji, but this is available to those who got the premium version. There will be tons of things for Overwatch players to do in October and we're excited to see what happens next.
The sequel to Overwatch called Overwatch 2 will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on October 4.
