Overwatch 2 Season 7 Reworks Sombra, Adds New Diablo-Themed Event Mode
It's spooky season for Blizzard's FPS, and that means Halloween-themed events and skins.
By Cameron Koch on
Overwatch 2 Season 7 will overhaul the stealthy DPS Sombra, while offering an assortment of Halloween-themed events and skins to help players to celebrate the spookiest time of the year.
As teased by Blizzard earlier this week and elaborated on in more detail in a recent blog post, Overwatch 2 is receiving a Diablo IV crossover when Season 7 kicks off October 10. Called Trials of Sanctuary, players will step into the shoes of heroes like Reinhardt, Pharah, and Sombra (each donning their best Diablo-themed cosplay) to battle against Lilith Moira and her army of minions, including Butcher Roadhog and Azmodan Wrecking Ball. Over the course of a match, players can acquire items dropped by enemies to power up their abilities.

The Halloween events from previous years, Junkenstein's Revenge and Wrath of the Bride, will also return alongside new challenges that can be completed for Battle Pass XP, Overwatch Credits, and Halloween-themed cosmetics. For one week only (October 10-17), players will additionally be able to spend Overwatch Credits to unlock heroes added in Overwatch 2: Sojourn, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Ramattra, and Lifeweaver. Blizzard is sweetening the deal even further by giving 3,000 Overwatch Credits to all players for free who log in from October 10-16 as an apology for a bug with the game's Anniversary Event challenges last season.
