## [](#halloween-terror-2020-details)Halloween Terror 2020 Details

GET READY TO GET SCARED

We’re celebrating the most foreboding time of the year with a skin-crawling seasonal event: Overwatch Halloween Terror. D.Va, Sombra, Sigma, Brigitte, and Echo are all in line for new cosmetics. As ever we can expect more characters to get new skins.

Last year featured the chilling tale of Junkenstein’s Revenge, an action-packed co-op brawl. We are unsure at this point if that will make a return though.

More details regarding Halloween Terror 2020 details will follow soon, but it’s also worth remembering that Nintendo Switch online subscribers can enjoy a free Overwatch trial from 13th October too – so is rather good timing!

The free trial can be downloaded from the Nintendo Switch eShop right now in preparation for when it goes live in a few days’ time.
