Ever since the release of Blizzard’s hero shooter in 2016, a few seasonal events have made the return each and every year. Halloween Terror is one such event and it’s now back for its fifth iteration with plenty to see and do.

As usual, a few maps have been overrun with cobwebs and pumpkins while the Arcade now features Junkenstein’s Revenge yet again. The fan-favorite PvE mode has made its grand return and there’s a reason to return every week throughout the event.

There’s also a ton to unlock this time around with five Legendary Skins up for grabs alongside an assortment of other items. You’ve got from now until November 3 to claim everything on offer. But fear not, we’ve got you covered with a complete rundown of everything you need to know.

Overwatch Halloween Terror 2020 Junkenstein’s Revenge

The intense wave-based experience has made its return in 2020 with a few unique twists. Obviously, you can expect to face the same Zomnic forces and battle popular Heroes turned villains, but there’s more to the PvE mode than first meets the eye this time around.

First up, two additional characters have been added to the lineup of mini-bosses. Baptiste and Ashe join the mode as The Renegade and The Outlaw respectively. Expect the difficulty to spike when these two drop into the night version of Eichenwalde.
