'Overwatch' Halloween Terror 2017 Latest News: New Character Costumes Leaked
After the announcement of "Overwatch's" upcoming Halloween event last week, new images showing themed skins of other characters were leaked over the weekend.
According to a report from Gamespot, skins for three more characters for the Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017, namely, Mei, Symmetra, and Zenyatta, were leaked on Facebook. The images, which were later on uploaded on Reddit by user Mnemosynaut, featured Mei transforming into a Jiangshi, a Chinese hopping vampire.
Symmetra, on the other hand, now looks like a demon based on an ifrit fit for the annual event. As for Zenyatta, he now looks like a Cthulu-inspired Omnic. The leaked images, however, have not yet been confirmed by Blizzard. This means it is still possible that these images may be fake, the Gamespot report noted.

The images, according to VG247, apparently came from a sponsored advertisement. The ads also revealed 50 new items that will become available during the event. It is very likely that some of the skins from last year's edition of Halloween Terror will make a comeback this year.
Last week, game developer Blizzard announced the event via Twitter, revealing Oct. 10 as the kick-off date. The tweet also came with a short poem: "The nights grow cold / And monsters appear / A great evil gathers / And Halloween draws near."
The event will run until Nov. 2 where fans can enjoy new skins from "Overwatch's" different characters. The post also gave fans a first glimpse of Dr. Junkenstein, along with themed skins for McCree and Reaper.
Moreover, fans can also expect the return of "Junkenstein's Revenge," last year's co-op PvE game-type, considering it was Junkenstein who is seen in the cover teaser. The PvE saw four players teaming up to take down spooky robots called the shambling zomnics. Some of the characters encountered in the PvE included Junkrat and his Monster Roadhog, the witch Mercy, and the Reaper.
