Overwatch Reveals New Halloween Skins for Echo and Reinhardt

[Animous]

Every year, Overwatch hosts its Halloween Terror event, letting players try the PvE Junkenstein's Revenge mode and adding a slew of new character skins for them to collect. The Overwatch Halloween Terror event for 2021 kicks off on October 12 and lasts until November 2. In the meantime, Blizzard has given fans a sneak peek at its Overwatch Halloween Terror plans for 2021, which include some brand new skins for Damage hero Echo and Tank hero Reinhardt.

While the Halloween Terror event is live, Overwatch fans will be able to get the Vampire Bat Echo skin, which gives the robotic character a brand new look appropriate for the season. This new Vampire Bat skin for Echo is easily one of her most elaborate skins to date, so it should definitely prove to be popular for fans of the character. Plus, it marks the first time that Echo has ever received a Halloween skin. Echo's other Overwatch seasonal event skins include the Surf's Up skin from the Summer Games and the Kkachi skin from the Chinese New Year.

Blizzard also revealed a new Reinhardt skin that's coming as part of the Overwatch Halloween Terror 2021 event. The Draugr Reinhardt skin will also be available for Overwatch fans to collect during the Halloween Terror event, joining the previously released Coldhardt skin.

Besides Echo and Reinhardt, Overwatch has also revealed a new skin coming for Roadhog. As part of the Overwatch Halloween Terror 2021 announcement trailer, Blizzard pulled the curtain back on a new Roadhog skin inspired by the terrifying Pennywise from Stephen King's IT. Blizzard hasn't revealed any other new Halloween skins at the time of this writing, but it's certainly possible that there are more in store for fans.

While the Halloween Terror 2021 event will add new Halloween skins for Overwatch fans to unlock, it will also give them the opportunity to grab skins from previous years that they've missed out on. Whenever Blizzard brings back a seasonal event, the skins from previous iterations of that event are made available again, but at a significant discount. So anyone that has a decent pile of Overwatch gold saved up could grab a few skins while Halloween Terror is live.

Looking ahead, there will be one more Overwatch seasonal event before the year is out. Winter Wonderland will almost assuredly kick off in December, bringing Christmas and winter-themed content to the hero shooter for a limited time. And just like with Halloween Terror, Winter Wonderland will include new skins for fans to unlock as well.

Overwatch is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
