Fall has officially begun and this means pumpkin-spiced everything, tons of flannel, and mowing down hordes of zomnics! That's right, with Overwatch having officially ended its Summer Games event, it is time for Blizzard's band of heroes to gear up for 2020's Halloween Terror event! While details for this seasonal event have yet to be offered, here is what we can expect based on the Halloween Terrors of the past.

Overwatch's annual Halloween event generally brings with it a ton of new Halloween-themed cosmetics like new skins for heroes and new play modes. In the past, the event has lasted for three weeks and includes a new skin to acquire each week (three skins total). Players have had to gain nine wins across any mode to access the featured skin for the week. Plus, the skins from previous Halloween events are usually available for purchase in the store. This is likely the same format the event will take this year.

While we have no idea what the skins will look like this year, the past events have offered some great themed-skins for players. From Witch Mercy to Van Helsing McCree, the skins that Overwatch offers for Halloween have always helped to create a festive and exciting atmosphere for players.

Halloween Terror also brings with it the return of Junkenstein's Revenge, the massive PvE (Player vs. Environment) game mode that sees four players protecting a castle against a horde of zomnics, the evil automaton creations of Dr. Junkenstein. Also throughout the event many maps - like Hollywood, Eichenwalde, and Chateau Guillard - get their own spooky makeover with Halloween re-skins.

As for when the event will go live, Blizzard has yet to officially announce anything. However, it seems to follow a pretty standard pattern for releasing the themed-event:

2016 Overwatch Halloween Event: October 11 (Tuesday)

2017 Overwatch Halloween Event: October 10 (Tuesday)

2018 Overwatch Halloween Event: October 9 (Tuesday)

2019 Overwatch Halloween Event: October 15 (Tuesday)

If Blizzard continues with this pattern, which seems likely barring any technical or pandemic-related difficulties, then fans can expect to get spooky on Tuesday, October 13. With the other events lasting three weeks, this one will likely disappear November 3, just in time for some winter Holiday fun.

Hopefully we will get an official announcement on Halloween Terror soon and what we can expect on the fifth anniversary of this spook-tacular event.
