With Halloween quickly approaching,Overwatchhas also gotten into the holiday spirit by kicking off its annual event. Halloween Terror 2019 sees the return of Junkenstein’s Revenge, a PvE game mode where up to four players attempt to hold out against waves of enemies and a few boss battles mixed in as well. The event also comes with plenty ofnew and old Halloween character skinsincluding a highly sought after, formerly exclusive skin for Sombra.
Last year for BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard revealed a new skin for theOverwatchhacker character Sombra, which turned her into the Demon Hunter fromDiablo 3. As cool as the skin was, it was only available for players who managed to score a physical BlizzCon ticket or opted to purchase a Virtual Ticket. One year later, the Demon Hunter skin returns toOverwatch, though it is much more attainable for all players and won’t require spending upwards of $50 first.
