Season 13 of Overwatch 2 Arrives October 15 With Halloween Vibes

If you’re still riding the high from Overwatch 2’s Anniversary Event or the unexpected crossover with World of Warcraft, it’s time to gear up for the next big thing. Spellbinder, the new season, drops on October 15, and it’s going heavy on the arcane magic. Think spooky, think mysterious, and definitely think Halloween vibes.

And of course, there’s no shortage of the usual boatload of fresh content that Blizzard likes to roll out with each new season—cosmetics, maps, modes, you name it.

Season 13 of Overwatch 2 launches with fresh Halloween Terror content, featuring PvE modes and the Mythic Spellbinder Widowmaker skin.

Fans are already pumped for the Halloween Terror event, which kicks off alongside Season 13, and if you’re a sucker for magic-themed anything, this one’s tailor-made for you. Not just because of the eerie, dark magic aesthetic, but also because it lines up perfectly with the Halloween season. In other words, prepare for a lot of spells, witchcraft, and everything arcane.

A Content Avalanche

Season 13 isn’t messing around. If you’ve got that sweet, sweet battle pass addiction, expect a fresh batch of cosmetic rewards to unlock. But the real star of this show? Spellbinder Widowmaker. She’s rocking four cosmetic progression tiers, and on top of that, you’ll get custom animations and sound effects. A whole new vibe for those who like to flex on their friends with those ultra-rare skins. If Widowmaker isn’t your thing, there are also five sinister Legendary skins to sink your teeth into:

• Bog Witch Ana
• Necrotic Witch Junker Queen
• Witchbane Sojourn
• Gnome Torbjorn
• Monstrous Sigma

Honestly, Torbjorn as a gnome might be the most ridiculous thing in this list, but it works. Sigma? Definitely looks like he’s about to rise from some dark dungeon to haunt your dreams. These skins will be up for grabs in the Premium Battle Pass, so don’t miss out.

PvE, PvP, and… Mutations?

What’s a Halloween event without a little chaos? The Halloween Terror event brings back the PvE classics like Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride. They’re pulling out the old favorites but giving them a fresh coat of paint with new challenges and rewards. You know the drill: survive, don’t get overrun, and maybe win some sweet loot along the way.

But the real new gem is Junkenstein’s Laboratory. Think of it as PvP but with a little twist. Characters get hit with random mutations mid-match, which mess with your hero’s abilities.

Imagine Reinhardt suddenly deciding to throw fireballs or Mercy going full battle angel with laser wings. It’s chaotic. It’s hilarious. And it’s the kind of unpredictable mess that will keep even the most veteran players on their toes.

Crossover Chaos: My Hero Academia x Overwatch

And just when you thought things couldn’t get wilder, here comes the anime crossover. My Hero Academia skins are landing in Overwatch 2, and it’s not just a one-off skin or two. You’ve got Deku as Tracer, All Might as Reinhardt, Uravity as Juno, Tomura Shigaraki as Reaper, and Himiko Toga as Kiriko.

That’s a whole superhero squad entering the battlefield. If you’re a My Hero fan, this is probably the moment you’ve been waiting for.

For those who want to go all-in, Blizzard’s even releasing a Mega Bundle, crammed with all the crossover goodies. It drops on October 17, so mark your calendar if you don’t want to miss out.

These October seasons are always packed, but this one seems like it’s going all out on the spooky, magical, and downright insane content.
