Overwatch

The Halloween Terror event is live in Overwatch and brings back the beloved Junkenstein's Revenge! According to Blizzard, "This year, we've added two new heroes to Junkenstein's Revenge: Brigitte and Tracer. We've also introduced new Halloween-themed items for you to unlock—including six new legendary skins such as Banshee Moira, Jack-o'-lantern Wrecking Ball, and Enchanted Armor Pharah—alongside our growing collection of spooky gear from previous years.

You can also get 10 bonus fright-filled Halloween Loot Boxes with each purchase of the 50 Halloween Loot Boxes bundle through October 31."

Dead by Daylight

The team over at Behavior Studios tells us, "For the duration, players will be investigating horrific experiments conducted on unwilling specimens injected with toxins from a mysterious plant only found in the world of the Entity. What results is...terrifying: aggressive fluid-filled killers on the hunt for unsuspecting survivors.

Survivors are in a rush to collect toxin from plants to fill Vials, though death can interrupt the process. And death is never more than a heartbeat away as Killers will be trying to fill their own Vials, hanging their preys on Cankerous Hooks."

They added, "For both parties, filling a Vial rewards Putrid Serum, a special event currency that can be traded for wicked Hallowed Blight cosmetic pieces, a Survivor's Will'o Wisp flashlight or the All Hallows' Eve Lunchbox (medkit) that glows with ghastly images."

There are also some spooky new items for both Survivors and Killers to don in order to get fully into the Halloween spirt. Players can find the terrifying new cosmetic items in the in-game store right now!

Destiny 2

Festival of the Lost officially begins on October 16 and will end on November 6, 2018. You can learn even more about the seasonal event with our previous breakdown here.

"For Guardians, death is usually a temporary condition, no more dangerous than a splinter and forgotten just as quickly. Even after Eva Levante first brought the City's traditions to the Tower with Festival of the Lost, it was less a time for remembrance and more of an irreverent celebration.

The last year has changed everything. The Red Legion razed the Last City. Countless Guardians were lost. Despite victories on Mercury and Mars, morale in the Tower is low after the fall of a legend: Cayde-6. This year, death has not passed us by. It has come to stay."
