Overwatch fans are now able to jump into the Halloween Terror 2017 event on PS4, Xbox One and PC after it made its long-awaited return to the Blizzard smash hit on Tuesday.
The Overwatch Halloween 2017 event brought with it new items, Legendary skins and the second instalment of Junkenstein’s Revenge.
The Overwatch Halloween 2017 event will run all the way through until November 2.
Over 50 new seasonal items — including new legendary skins like Dracula Reaper, Van Helsing McCree, Totally 80’s Zarya, and Dragon Symmetra — alongside last year’s Halloween Terror gear are now available.
New to the Arcade is Junkenstein’s Revenge: Endless Night allows for endless gameplay when playing as one of four additional heroes: Genji, Torbjörn, Widowmaker, and Zenyatta.
Those who survive the longest will earn a spot on the all-new leaderboard.
In total, there are five new emotes, four new highlight intros and 20 new skins that have been revealed so far.
Signalling the beginning of the event in a post on the Overwatch website, Blizzard said: “For the next three weeks, we’re celebrating the spookiest time of the year with a seasonal event.
“Expand your collection of seasonal-themed items and relive a chilling tale in our PvE brawl: Junkenstein’s Revenge.
“This year, we’ve added a new endless mode for Junkenstein’s Revenge, with leaderboards to commemorate those who last the longest in their fight against the evil doctor.
“Plus, unlock over 50 new seasonal items—including new legendary skins like Dracula Reaper, Van Helsing McCree, Totally 80’s Zarya, and Dragon Symmetra—alongside last year’s Halloween Terror gear.”

In other Overwatch news, it recently emerged how Blizzard are continuing their tinkering job on popular hero Mercy.
Blizzard use the PTR on PC to test out all the changes they’re thinking about implementing in the core game.
And now a new build has been released which affects Overwatch’s Mercy again.
This latest tweak gives Mercy a free Resurrect charge when she uses Valkyrie, which is only available for the duration of her Ultimate move, Valkyrie.
It looks like Blizzard have been trying to reduce the amount of Resurrects the healer can pull off in a game, although this latest change does bring a bit of balance to it.
