This week, Activision is launching Overwatch 2 Season 19: Haunted Masquerade, the latest Halloween-themed event for the franchise. This year, Haunted Masquerade is introducing magical masks of their allied heroes that give the characters special buffs and powers. For example, Tracer can wear a Winston mask, and he can wear her mask. The launch trailer below shows off some of those new mask abilities in action.
In addition to the Haunted Masquerade arcade mode, the new season is bringing back Halloween Terror 2025, which will allow four players to team up in co-op to defend Adlersbrunn from Dr. Junkenstein and his monster minions. Your chosen heroes will have to face hordes of foes and “powerful bosses” to maintain control of the castle.
Additionally, Junkenstein’s Revenge lets players control Sojourn, Junker Queen, Kiriko, and Ashe as they crush barricades and battle “exploding zombie omnics,” as well as Banshee Moira and Gargoyle Winston, before uncovering Adlersbrunn’s castle. The new season is also bringing back Wrath of the Bride as a co-op fight and adding new Mythic cosmetics and other in-game collectibles.
This sounds like an exciting update for Overwatch 2! The Haunted Masquerade theme is perfect for the season, and I can’t wait to see how the new masks will enhance gameplay. It’s always fun to see what seasonal events bring to the game!
Absolutely! The Haunted Masquerade theme really adds a unique twist to the game. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the new masks will influence gameplay strategies during this season!
