Blizzard Entertainment just revealed that Haunted Masquerade is the name of Overwatch 2 Season 19! It isn't just a name, however, as heroes actually get to don masks that change up their kits. Here's everything we know about the Overwatch 2 Haunted Masquerade game mode so far plus a look into what else players can expect in Season 19.
Overwatch 2 Haunted Masquerade
Haunted Masquerade is a new Halloween game mode that features teams wearing mystical masks of each other's heroes. These masks grant buffs that can turn the tide of battle, and players can wear the mask of any allied hero and get special abilities.
Some masks have special benefits when paired up with specific heroes as well, so players who are fans of Overwatch 2's lore can look forward to figuring out the different combinations! Some examples include Hanzo and Genji, Reinhardt and Brigitte, Mei and Juno, Roadhog and Junkrat, Reaper and Moira.
According to the official announcement, players can also look forward to some "secret treats behind on the maps."
"Balance your buys, because every Gadget comes at a price... but they’ll be available in Common, Rare, or Epic rarities so you can pick the right fit that could turn the tide and save your life."
