Halloween-themed loot boxes will go on sale for Overwatch players starting tomorrow, based on an update from the European PlayStation blog. Its our first concrete set of details about the heavily rumored event, about which a flurry of details leaked out over the past several days.
The blog post doesnt give prices for the loot boxes, nor does it offer further information beyond their existence. Members of the games Reddit community have unearthed a few other details about Halloween in Overwatch for themselves, pointing fans toward a teaser on the games Taiwanese website that seems to confirm the event.
On that sites homepage, an image of popular characters Roadhog and Junkrat appeared side-by-side in Halloween garb. Its since been removed, but a screenshot indicates that the event will run from Oct. 12 through Nov. 1. Leaked patch notes from a Korean online gaming notice board also seem to confirm an Oct. 12 launch date.
On Saturday, Russian fans posted an image from a purported Overwatch comic called Junkenstein like Frankenstein, in case you didnt catch the pun kicking speculation about possible in-game Halloween festivities into overdrive.
Blizzard Entertainment has yet to formally announce the Halloween event itself. The company has previously said it plans to continue launching holiday-centric games for players, following the success of the inaugural Summer Games event earlier this year.
Update:
Overwatch fansite Overpwn has leaked several other details from the upcoming Halloween event, including images of skins, video of a loot crate unboxing and details on a four-player brawl, named after the Junkenstein comic.
Twelve new skins will be included in the forthcoming update, which is pegged for a 2 p.m. ET launch, according to community-mined patch notes. An imgur gallery, below, shows the entire range of costumed Overwatch heroes.
Players unlock these with the special event loot boxes; you can watch one get opened below.
The co-op brawl stars Junkrat as the maniacal Dr. Jamison Junkenstein, leaked details confirm; its up to Ana, Hanzo, McCree and Solider: 76 to take him down while keeping the castle doors safe and secure.
Woot!
The dates in the article are wrong, by the way. It's already out.

I've only gotten Reaper's skin. Looks fantastic, too. Love that there's lit candles on his guns. Just hah!

It does. I loved that touch.
I got Roadhog and Mercys Halloween skin so far. They're all so great but I'm glad I got those two.

By the way: it's not a Tim Burton movie.

Mercy theme song:
I'll use just about any excuse to bust that song out.

Listen to
Iced Earth
and play
Doom

The crates are uploaded. You can see all the skins and whatnot. I just opened a mercy victory pose where she's crawling out of a grave.
They all look so great.

Ooh, nice, you can buy the event skins this time around instead of only being able to get them from loot drops.

Seems like they've put a lot of effort into the event. There's a lovely horde mode. Hope it stays in rotation.

As a bonus, you can't hear him coming.
I'm so happy they're doing a Halloween event. I'm going to drop 40 dollars on loot boxes for some Halloween skins.

Yeah he has a great balance of heals and attacks that actually do some decent damage. I've racked up pretty big kills and heals with that guy. Plus the whole zen thing is sweet.
We all have it coming Kid

Zenyatta's great. One of my favourite heroes to play as.

I played a sh!t load of overwatch on the weekend. Up to level 13. Mainly as a healer dude that floats.
