Overwatch developer Blizzard is working on more than just the Halloween 2017 event.
As fans enjoy the Halloween Terror event, new evidence has emerged of a potential Overwatch sequel or spinoff.
Blizzard has posted an advert for a new art intern at one of its studios. The successful candidate will be working on an unannounced project with ties to Overwatch.
“An unannounced project at Blizzard is seeking an intern to help create a wide range of assets to help bring our game to life,” the post reads.
“You will work closely with our concept, environment and character teams to create hard surface and organic props, weapons and possibly characters that are both detail-oriented and consistent with the art style we’ve defined.”
But what really has fans excited is the mention of Overwatch. Candidates should have “knowledge and understanding of the Overwatch universe”.
There’s even mention of “next-gen materials and tools”, which suggests it could make it to PS5 or the next Xbox.
The Overwatch Halloween 2017 event launched with new items, Legendary skins and the second instalment of Junkenstein’s Revenge.
The Overwatch Halloween 2017 event, which runs until November 2, contains over 50 new seasonal items — including new legendary skins like Dracula Reaper, Van Helsing McCree, Totally 80’s Zarya, and Dragon Symmetra.
That’s alongside last year’s Halloween Terror event skins, which are available for 1,000 in-game credits.
In total, there are five new emotes, four new highlight intros and 20 new skins that have been revealed so far.

Blizzard is taking legal action against the makers of an app that it claims is too similar to Overwatch.
Blizzard China believes that the app violates its intellectual property and China’s unfair competition law.
That’s according to a new report by PC Watch (via Kotaku), which states that Blizzard wants the app to be removed from the iOS App Store and Google Play.
Blizzard China is also seeking financial compensation and an apology, according to the report.
