Overwatch Halloween 2017 event COUNTDOWN: Release date, start time, LEAKED SKINS and more

 fans are counting down to the  on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The Halloween 2017 event has an October 10 release date and runs all the way until November 2.

Based on previous Overwatch events like the Summer Games, Halloween Terror is expected to have either a 6pm or 7pm UK start time. 

Details are thin on the ground, but it’s likely to launch with a big update (patch notes to follow), and will feature the return of the Junkenstein’s Revenge game mode.

One thing we can be sure of is that the Overwatch Halloween 2017 event will release with a host of Legendary Overwatch skins.

This includes new skins for McCree and Reaper, as well as Mei, Symmetra and Zenyatta – the latter of which leaked over the weekend.

If it’s anything like the 2017 Summer Games event, Blizzard could also bring back all of last year’s skins at a cheaper price.

Based on the Summer Games event, classic Halloween Terror skins could cost as little as 1,000 credits.

That’s compared to 3,000 credits for the brand new skins available for the likes of McCree and Reaper.

The recent Overwatch Halloween Terror leak also confirmed the existence of 50 spooky new items to unlock as part of special loot boxes.

 Junkenstein’s Revenge, meanwhile, is described as Overwatch’s first ever PvE brawl.

“Team up with three other players and face off against a host of eerie enemies, including Dr. Junkenstein himself, Junkenstein’s Monster, the Reaper, a mysterious witch, and host of shambling zomnics,” reads last year’s Halloween Terror blog post.

“This terrifying tale follows Dr. Jamison Junkenstein, an inventor and scientist who was once employed by the Lord of Adlersbrunn.

“Junkenstein’s dream was to create artificial life, but the Lord of Adlersbrunn mocked the scientist and his creations, calling him a fool and dismissing him from service. Slighted, Junkenstein vowed to prove the lord wrong, and when an unexpected visitor showed up and offered the key to perfecting his creation, Junkenstein’s Monster was born.

“Now Junkenstein plans his revenge against the Lord of Adlersbrunn, and only four heroes stand in the way.”
