Overwatch 2 Reveals Season 13 Details

Key Takeaways

  • Overwatch 2‘s Season 13, Spellbinder, launches October 15 with a witch-themed Widowmaker mythic skin.
  • Halloween Terror returns this year with the Junkenstein’s Laboratory game mode, which brings new hero upgrades.
  • Overwatch 2 players can look forward to the My Hero Academia collaboration and a potential new hero reveal during Season 13.

As a seasoned Overwatch 2 gamer with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I must say, Blizzard has outdone themselves this year! The Spellbinder Season 13 is shaping up to be a real treat for all us spooky fans, and the return of Halloween Terror is just the icing on the cake. The new Junkenstein’s Laboratory game mode looks promising, and I can’t wait to see how my heroes will be enhanced with those upgrades.

Blizzard Entertainment recently revealed all the upcoming changes for Overwatch 2 during Season 13, which kicks off next week. Although this new season doesn’t introduce a fresh hero to the game, fear not, Halloween enthusiasts! Overwatch 2 still has plenty of exciting content lined up for players who love the spooky season.

Every year, Halloween is a significant period for the popular game Overwatch, as numerous players come back to enjoy its cherished Halloween Terror game modes, such as the well-liked Junkenstein’s Revenge cooperative mode that started it all in the initial version of Overwatch. Last year, Overwatch 2 capitalized on the Halloween spirit with a horror-themed battle pass that featured Widowmaker’s Ghostly Bride skin, Illari’s Night Raven skin, and was led by Hanzo’s mythic Onryo skin. Season 7 also showcased a crossover with Diablo 4, offering a Lilith skin for Moira.

I’m absolutely thrilled about it! This year, I can’t wait for Halloween as Overwatch 2 is diving headfirst into the spooky spirit yet again for its Season 13 theme – Spellbinder! The latest trailer on Twitter has given us a sneak peek, and it’s set to launch on October 15. The star of this wicked new season will be none other than Overwatch’s legendary sniper, Widowmaker, who’s getting the mythic skin treatment with Spellbinder Widowmaker – a striking steampunk-inspired witch design. It’s been quite some time since we last saw Widowmaker, as she recently teamed up with World of Warcraft for their 30th anniversary, transforming into the elf ranger Sylvanas. Now, she’ll be joining other cherished characters like Mercy and Kiriko in Overwatch 2‘s coven of witches!

Overwatch 2 Getting Witch-Themed Season 13

As a dedicated Overwatch gamer, I must admit that the long-awaited mythic treatment for the classic sniper has left me thrilled, but I can understand why some Tank players might feel a pang of slight disappointment. After all, only three tank heroes have ever graced a season with a mythic skin, and it’s been over a year since Orisa’s time in the limelight during Season 8.

The latest trailer showcases Dorado, Cicuit Royale, Numbani, and Havana as maps that are due for updates. It’s uncertain if these changes will be temporary Halloween decorations or permanent modifications to their structures. At the conclusion of the trailer, there’s a hint suggesting that Overwatch 2 could soon unveil its next character. In a space adorned with purple fragments and graffiti, an unknown voice whispers, “It seems like a revolution is brewing.” It’s plausible that Overwatch 2 might be preparing for a new character introduction and trial weekend happening around November. Until then, enthusiasts can anticipate Season 13: Spellbinder launching on October 15, as well as an upcoming Overwatch 2 collaboration with My Hero Academia, which fans should expect to see during the season.
