Overwatch’s Halloween Terror event returns for 2020 with spooky new skins

Overwatch’s annual frightfest, the three-week Halloween Terror event, returns to the game on Tuesday, Oct. 13. This year’s edition of Halloween Terror will see the return of the Junkenstein’s Revenge co-op mode — freshly remixed for 2020 — and a new batch of spooky skins.

Blizzard has whipped up five new Legendary skins for Halloween Terror 2020: Karasu-Tengu Genji, Dai-Tengu Hanzo, Werewolf Winston, Flying Dutchman Sigma, and Shin-Ryeong D.Va. Players can also unlock three new Epic skins (Fantasma Sombra, Stone Brigitte, and Ragdoll Echo) by winning nine games each week. The addition of those eight new skins means that everyone on the Overwatch roster finally has a Halloween costume to wear.

You can check out the Halloween Terror 2020 skins in the gallery below.
