sportskeeda.com:

Although Overwatch 2 only recently launched, players won’t have to wait very long until the first holiday event kicks off in the game. Despite only launching on October 4, 2022, Junkenstein’s Revenge: The Wrath of the Bride has been confirmed by Activision Blizzard to arrive later this month.

As of writing this article, details are sparse, but Blizzard has promised to reveal more information once the event's date comes closer. Here’s what fans need to know about the upcoming Overwatch 2 holiday event for the month of October this year.

Blizzard has previously confirmed that new game modes and classic modes will be returning in Overwatch 2. With Halloween looming closer, this made it the perfect time to announce a fan-favorite holiday event. Arriving later this month, Junkenstein’s Revenge: The Wrath of the Bride will be released, likely adding plenty of new content for players to enjoy.

Currently, little is known about this upcoming mode, but the art assets for the teaser reveal a “Bride of Frankenstein” skin for Sombra. Fans can look forward to a new, updated version of the classic Junkenstein’s Revenge game mode.

In the previous version of the mode, fans had to participate in a 4-player co-op event, where they could only play McCree, Soldier: 76, Hanzo, and Ana. It was a wave-based horde mode that got increasingly difficult with each wave. The mode would then adapt over time and change, adding more difficulty modes, characters, and weekly challenges.

This game mode will begin on October 25 and will conclude on November 8, 2022. Undoubtedly, there will be new skins for players to unlock. Interestingly, the event's duration is far shorter than in the older iterations. Previous Halloween events in Overwatch ran from
