Pharah, Doomfist and Widowmaker are getting fresh Halloween themed skins as well, and if you didn’t get a chance to bag last year’s skins, they’ll be making a return too.
Re-skinned Maps
Game director Jeff Kaplan hinted at Halloween re-skins of maps in September’s developer update video, and it looks like Deathmatch map Chateau Guillard will be the first to receive a makeover.

Junkenstein’s Revenge
It’s clear that Junkenstein’s Revenge will be returning this year, but we expect it to stay largely the same as previous years. We imagine there will be more playable characters and maybe a few new bosses, but all in all, it’ll still remain the usual horde mode affair.
