Overwatch Halloween Event Details
It's time to celebrate another year of fear: Halloween Terror is returning to Overwatch! Get ready for a shock, because this event introduces the next chapter in the saga of the devious Dr. Junkenstein through our all-new, limited time co-op mission, Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride.
Return to Adlersbrunn alongside four fresh faces to experience an all-new story as the Bride of Junkenstein seeks vengeance upon those responsible for the death of her creator. As we near the anniversary of the mad doctor's revenge, learn more about this year’s event directly from the desk of the Lord of Adlersbrunn.
Complete challenges to unlock special rewards like the Nightfall Over Adlersbrunn Name Card, the Jack-o'-Lantern Weapon Charm, Battle Pass XP, and other spine-tingling rewards. Dr. Junkenstein himself will also be making a grand reappearance in the original Junkenstein's Revenge co-op Brawl, returning for a limited time to Halloween Terror 2022.
From October 25 until November 9, join your fellow heroes to confront a host of haunting horrors as you seek to safeguard Eichenwalde— or fall to the Bride’s retribution.

Along with the haunting holiday events, we’re running a Double Match XP weekend starting October 28-31 as we follow through on our promise from launch week.

We’re expanding on the story of Junkenstein’s Revenge through Wrath of the Bride and adding spooky new skins and bundles to the Overwatch Shop. We look forward to sharing in all the fearsome festivities in Overwatch 2’s first Halloween Terror event running October 25 through November 9!
Face the wrath of the Bride—if you dare.
Overwatch Halloween Event Free Skins
With loot boxes no longer in play, we can assume in terms of events, Blizzard is either going to make cosmetics puchasable via the in-game store.
Or, do a seperate event battle pass, similar to what other titles such as Fortnite, and Apex Legends do.
However, they've already announced one skin that will be free for players for just logging in, and this comes in the form of the Cursed Reaper skin.
To claim this skin follow the steps below.
The team continues to work to deploy further stability updates, with another patch planned for later this week, and we are monitoring the game closely for emergent issues and bugs. We’ve been keeping you all up to date on the forums with separate posts, but moving forward, our known issues will be tracked here.
We apologize for any issues players experienced around the game’s launch. To help make up for any lost time, we’re planning to run several Double Match XP weekends: we will confirm the specific dates for these soon. We’ll also be giving all players who log in from October 25 through to the end of Season One an all-new Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary skin and a Health Pack Weapon Charm. These items will become part of your collection from the first time you log in during that time window.
Overwatch Halloween Details
While Blizzard hasn't shared much around the event, they've detailed that we're going to be able to play as Sojourn, Junker Queen, Kiriko, and Ashe for the event specific mode.
However, we'll be sure to update this page as we hear more news.
