Halloween – sorry, “Halloween Terror 2017” – is live for Overwatch players this week and runs through November. After all, come November 1st, spooky stuff is just weird, right? That’s Christmas season. Everyone knows that. Shut down the pumpkins and ghosts ASAP.
“Players can explore the haunted streets of Eichenwalde and Hollywood, expand their collection of Halloween seasonal cosmetics, and team up to fight the forces of evil in two PvE brawls—Junkenstein’s Revenge and the all-new Junkenstein Endless brawl featuring a different cast of heroes,” Blizzard says. Also lootboxes. “We’re also re-opening our crypt so players can unlock their favorite Halloween-themed items from last year along with over 50 new tantalizing treats, including legendary skins like Corsair Ana, Van Helsing McCree, Dragon Symmetra, and Cultist Zenyatta.”
In more tantalizing Overwatch news, PC Gamer noticed yet another job listing on the Blizzard site, this one for an artist to work on an unannounced project relating to Overwatch or at least requiring familiarity with the “Overwatch universe” specifically. Is it an intern developing marketing materials or another game set in the same universe – that first-person project that it’s been hiring for over the last year, perhaps? Or maybe – just maybe – Overwatch could be getting an MMO, bringing the whole franchise full circle.
