Overwatch 2: Halloween Terror 2022 event details
Overwatch 2 unveiled the Halloween Terror trailer and all the details related to the upcoming events for the holidays. Here’s what you need to know.
The Halloween Terror is the official series of events offered by Activision Blizzard for their Overwatch 2 players. There are multiple parts to the event. It includes limited-time co-op modes and missions of the game, Twitch drops, and many cosmetics. The new cooperative mission is Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride. This was introduced on October 25 and appears to be a revamp of the same event (Junkenstein’s Revenge) introduced in the original Overwatch last year.
The trailer of the event had favorite characters like Kiriko, Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Ashe duking it out against Symmetra, Sombra, and Winston. It teased players with bundles, seasonal items, and nostalgic recreation of the previous years’ memories.

Halloween Terror rewards and how to get them
The trailer mentions the Witch Kiriko bundle. Aside from that, a new skin called Executioner Junker Queen is also up for grabs during the event. Also, just in case you missed it last 2020, Halloween Terror is bringing back the Winston Werewolf skin.
With the return of Dr. Junkenstein, we can expect him to plot his revenge after the demise of his creator. Activision Blizzard even made lore for the event. Dr. Junkenstein returns to Adlersbrunn, and it promises players hefty rewards for participating. Some challenges can unlock limited-time rewards like Nightfall Over Adlersbrunn Name Card, Jack-o’-Lantern Weapon Charm, and even Battle Pass XP. You can join the fun and spooks from October 25 until November 8.
Aside from getting rewards in-game by participating in the new co-op game, you can also get a chance to get the Werewolf Winston Spray and Werewolf Winston Legendary Skin by simply watching your favorite Overwatch 2 Twitch streamer. Make sure to accumulate at least six hours of viewing to get both rewards.
You get the Werewolf Winston Spray for the first two hours and the Werewolf Winston Legendary Skin after four hours. This event starts on October 25 and will be available until November 6 at 11:00 a.m. PDT. Read this article to get full instructions on how to link your battle.net and Twitch accounts.
