When Does the Overwatch 2 Halloween Event End?
AlthoughOverwatch 2players are able to acquire OverwatchCoins through gameplay, so many coins are required for the Halloween Terror skins that grinding for the necessary currency won’t be possible. Given that this is the first event to roll out underOverwatch 2’s free-to-play model, it may give fans an idea of what to expect from future holidays like Summer Games, Lunar New Year, and Winter Wonderland from duration to skin prices. WhileOverwatch 2players now know when Halloween Terror will conclude, it’s currently unclear if Winter Wonderland will be the next event like usual or if another one will fall in the middle as Season 1 continues.
