Season 13, known as Spellbinder, will bring a new battle pass, a new crossover with My Hero Academia, and the return of the Halloween Terror to Overwatch 2. Blizzard is going all in on new Mythic cosmetics this season, with a new Mythic Spellbinder skin for Widowmaker, a new Mythic weapon for Soldier:76, and new Gilded Aspects for existing Mythic hero skins, which offer new black and gold color variants.
Overwatch 2’s new battle pass will feature the standard 80 tiers of rewards, including Legendary skins Bog Witch Ana, Necrotic Witch Junker Queen, Witchbane Sojourn, Gnome Torbjorn, and Monstrous Sigma as part of the pass’ premium track. Additional spooky and supernatural skins timed for the Halloween season will be coming to the store, including new looks for Ashe, Illari, Kiriko, Mercy, Symmetra, Tracer, and Winston.
This season’s My Hero Academia crossover runs from Oct. 17-30, and will include the following crossover skins: Deku Tracer, Uravity Juno, All Might Reinhardt, Himiko Toga Kiriko, and Tomura Shigaraki Reaper. A Mega Bundle will include all five skins and bundle-exclusive cosmetics.
Halloween Terror 2024 will run from Oct. 15 through Nov. 4, and include a new fast-paced Team Deathmatch mode called Junkenstein’s Laboratory. The mode will feature a system called Cursed Talent Cards, which will give Overwatch heroes new abilities. Previous co-op modes from Halloween Terror events past — Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride — will also return with new challenges and bosses.
Four maps are getting updates this season: Numbani, Circuit Royal, Dorado, and Havana. All four maps have had some amount of work done, but a consistent change is Blizzard has altered the area around the attacking team’s spawn on each map.
