The next limited-time event in Overwatch will be Halloween Terror 2020, and it'll run from October 13 through to November 3. Halloween Terror will come with the usual variety of new cosmetics and it looks like Brigitte, D.Va, Echo, Sigma, and Sombra will all receive skins, based on the teaser video.

Last year's Halloween Terror event brought back Junkenstein's Revenge, a PvE brawl mode where players united to fight Junkenstein and his pals. Each week of the event there were rewards for a set number of wins in quick play, arcade, or competitive mode, with three wins earning an icon, six wins a spray, and nine wins a skin. Seasonal items were available in loot boxes, including those from previous years.

Here's everything we know about Overwatch 2.

In unrelated news, Team Fortress 2 is the busiest it's ever been thanks to the current Scream Fortress XII Halloween event.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
