Doctor Junkenstein returns to scare up some Overwatch co-op subsequent week

It’s Skeleton Appreciation Month, and Blizzard are losing no time beating the hype-drum for Overwatch‘s nearly-month-long Halloween event. Starting next Tuesday, October 9th and running until Halloween itself on the 31st, the Halloween Terror event brings its usual slew of silly seasonal costumes for Overwatch’s forged of sci-fi heroes and villains. Plus, a teaser suggesting that this 12 months’s co-op occasion may be a bit of completely different – take a look at Blizzard’s ever-so-tiny clip under.

In previous years, Halloween Terror was a single Brawl-type co-op occasion, performed on a particular area based mostly on Eichenwalde. Players fought in opposition to waves of robots (spooky zombie robots, in fact), with the occasional mini-boss battle in opposition to a Halloween-costumed hero-turned-minion of the nefariously Australian Dr. Junkenstein. The teaser suggests one thing a bit completely different this 12 months, because the Château Guillard deathmatch map seems to be getting a seasonal makeover. Word is that Junkenstein’s Monster has discovered himself a bride, too – probably a glammed up Widowmaker?

Of course, the principle enchantment for Halloween Terror occasions for a lot of is in its foolish costumes, wall-sprays and different crate-borne beauty goodies. Blizzard prefer to tease these over the week or so main as much as every Halloween occasion, so control their official Twitter feed (or us, for that matter) for breakdowns on the newest retro-future-goth fashions as and once they roll out the catwalk.

It’s in all probability price a point out that Overwatch is headlining the current Humble Monthly, ending on October 4th. $12 (roughly £9.20/€10.40) will get you Overwatch, Dungeons three and Hidden Folks now, and an additional bundle of games on the 4th – that is the most affordable Overwatch has ever been. If you’ve had your eye on the game, now could be the time.
