Overwatch 2’s New Halloween Game Mode “Mutates” Heroes For Brutal PvP Action
Overwatch 2 Season 13, Spellbinder, is arriving just in time for Halloween, and Blizzard is delivering a new Junkenstein-themed PvP game mode to celebrate.
Called Junkenstein’s Laboratory, the mode will mutate the abilities of heroes like Reinhardt, Moira, and Mercy in “fast-paced” team deathmatch rounds, with Blizzard stating in a blog post that the spooky ability mutations will “challenge even the most seasoned players.” The mode will be available alongside the season launch on October 15 and run through November 4, but additional details, like what kind of alterations will be made to each hero’s abilities, have yet to be revealed.
For those who prefer PvE over PvP, previous Halloween events like Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride will also be available for the duration of the season, with new challenges, enemies, and bosses, according to Blizzard.
