Every year,Overwatchhosts its Halloween Terror event, letting players try the PvE Junkenstein’s Revenge mode and adding a slew of new character skins for them to collect. TheOverwatchHalloween Terror event for 2021 kicks off on October 12 and lasts until November 2. In the meantime, Blizzard has given fans a sneak peek at itsOverwatchHalloween Terror plans for 2021, which include some brand new skins for Damage hero Echo and Tank hero Reinhardt.
While the Halloween Terror event is live,Overwatchfans will be able to get the Vampire Bat Echo skin, which gives the robotic character a brand new look appropriate for the season. This new Vampire Bat skin for Echo is easily one of her most elaborate skins to date, so it should definitely prove to be popular for fans of the character. Plus, it marks the first time that Echo has ever received a Halloween skin. Echo’s otherOverwatchseasonal event skinsinclude the Surf’s Up skin from the Summer Games and the Kkachi skin from the Chinese New Year.

Blizzard also revealed a newReinhardtskin that’s coming as part of theOverwatchHalloween Terror 2021 event. The Draugr Reinhardt skin will also be available forOverwatchfans to collect during the Halloween Terror event, joining the previously released Coldhardt skin.
Besides Echo and Reinhardt,Overwatchhas also revealed a new skin coming for Roadhog. As part of theOverwatchHalloween Terror 2021 announcement trailer, Blizzard pulled the curtain back on anew Roadhog skin inspired by the terrifying Pennywisefrom Stephen King’sIT. Blizzard hasn’t revealed any other new Halloween skins at the time of this writing, but it’s certainly possible that there are more in store for fans.
While the Halloween Terror 2021 event will add new Halloween skins forOverwatchfans to unlock, it will also give them the opportunity to grab skins from previous years that they’ve missed out on. Whenever Blizzard brings back a seasonal event, the skins from previous iterations of that event are made available again, but at a significant discount. So anyone that has a decent pile ofOverwatchgoldsaved up could grab a few skins while Halloween Terror is live.
Looking ahead, there will be one moreOverwatchseasonal event before the year is out.Winter Wonderlandwill almost assuredly kick off in December, bringing Christmas and winter-themed content to the hero shooter for a limited time. And just like with Halloween Terror, Winter Wonderland will include new skins for fans to unlock as well.
Overwatchis out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
