At first, they were just rumors but it has finally been announced that the rumored Overwatch Halloween theme is indeed true. And more good news: it comes with new modes and skins as well.
The Overwatch event, called Halloween Terror, started October 11 and it will continue until November 1. Since it is about Halloween, players should expect cool, spooky items including a new Halloween-themed game mode called Junkenstein Revenge. The new game mode will see a new Junkrat playing the role of Dr. Junkenstein
Aside from the #mce_temp_url# Overwatch new mode, there will also be new Halloween-themed skins which players can unlock using loot boxes. To double the fun, the event will allow the heroes to use the RIP victory pose. Moreover, the Hollywood map will be specifically updated for the event making it look like a haunted area.
Going back to Overwatch Junkenstein Revenge, this brawl mode was described as terrifying tale about Dr. Jamison Junkenstein. The story, as the name implies, is similar to the Frankenstein story. However, it has its own surprising twist as it pits Dr. Junkenstein with Lord Adlersburn, who was once his employer. However, Aldersburn did not believe in the doctor's genius and decided to let go of him after mocking him and his dream of creating artificial life.
Fueled by his rage against Lord Aldersburn, Junkenstein did everything to prove the nobleman wrong and exact his revenge against him. Finally, his patience and hardwork paid off and the Junkenstein monster was born. With that, Junkenstein began to put his revenge into motion but there is one problem: four heroes have vowed to stop him no matter what the cost is. Will he be able to defeat them or will they be able to subdue the mad scientist? Look at the trailer below and try to guess what will happen in the Halloween brawl of Overwatch.
