If there’s one event that Blizzard does best in Overwatch, it’s the game’s Halloween Terror event that brings fans some of the shooter’s best skins of all time—and this year is as loaded as ever.
In a trailer video for season seven, which begins next Tuesday, Oct. 10, the Overwatch 2 team bombarded players with an array of Halloween skin previews as they announced there will be a whopping total of 17 new Halloween skins added to the game.
Some of the Halloween skins will be a part of the game’s battle pass and others will be in the shop, but Blizzard didn’t specify which would be where during the trailer. Meanwhile, the game will also have a Diablo crossover event that will give players a chance to load up on cosmetics made to horrify their opponents.

In a blog post, Blizzard shared that the Halloween-themed season seven battle pass comes with an assortment of spooky Epic and Legendary skins, including the following:
- Victorian Ghost Lucio
- Crimson Clown Soldier: 76
- Azmodan Wrecking Ball
- Victorian Doll Echo
- Diesel Barron Ramattra
- Lilith Moira
- Inarius Pharah
- Pumpkin-Spice Bastion
- Onryō Hanzo (Mythic)
Other skins that Blizzard has teased for the upcoming season include a creepy doll skin for Ashe, a crying spirit skin for Lifeweaver, a zombie medic skin for Mercy, a demonic skin for Genji, and a homicidal bride skin for Widowmaker.
Watching the season seven trailer, it’s unclear what exactly Blizzard is specifying as a “Halloween” skin. While many of the skins previewed are spooky, a few that were shown off didn’t necessarily pass the sniff test for what qualifies as a scary skin. For instance, Zenyatta was depicted in the video wearing a shower cap with rubber duckies in place of his Orbs of Destruction. I guess that could be considered a funny Halloween costume, but it certainly doesn’t fit the general “Halloween Terror” vibes.
