Overwatch 2 is hosting its first holiday event, as the Bride of Junkenstein seeks revenge in an all-new PvE brawl.
Part of what’s supposed to separate Overwatch 2 from its predecessor is more PvE-focused ways to play. The game’s PvE component isn’t quite ready yet, but that doesn’t mean Blizzard won’t come up with new ideas. One of them is being tested in Overwatch 2’s first Halloween Terror event, which is the next step in the Junkenstein saga. On Monday, Blizzard announced Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride.
Here is the announcement from the Overwatch website:
It’s time to celebrate another year of fear: Halloween Terror returns to Overwatch! Get ready for a shock as this event introduces the next chapter in the saga of the devious Dr. Junkenstein through our brand new limited time co-op mission, Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride.
Return to Adlersbrunn alongside four new faces to experience an all-new story as the Bride of Junkenstein seeks revenge on those responsible for her creator’s death. As we approach the anniversary of the Mad Doctor’s Revenge, hear more about this year’s event straight from the office of the Lord of Adlersbrunn.
Complete challenges to unlock special rewards like the Nightfall Over Adlersbrunn Calling Card, Jack-o’-Lantern Weapon Charm, Battle Pass XP, and other stunning rewards. Dr. Junkenstein himself will also make a big reappearance in Junkenstein’s Revenge original co-op brawl, returning for a limited time at Halloween Terror 2022.
From October 25 through November 9, join your fellow heroes to face a host of haunting horrors as you seek to protect Eichenwalde – or suffer the Bride’s Punishment.

To further entice the Overwatch 2 playerbase to jump into this year’s holiday event, late October will be offering Double Match XP. Granted, it’s the double XP that happens due to some other issues, but it’s the thought that counts. Players who log in during the Halloween Terror event will receive the Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary Skin and Health Pack Weapon Charm for free. A handful of Overwatch content creators will be jumping on Twitch to show off the new event, so watch them for two hours to receive a Werewolf Winston spray and four hours to get the legendary Werewolf Winston skin. Check the Overwatch 2 directory on Twitch and find any streams where drops are enabled.
Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride is coming to Overwatch 2 this Tuesday and will run until Wednesday, November 9. If you’re new to the game, you might have some questions, so be sure to check out our recent guides on the Overwatch 2 topic page. Halloween 2022 video game seasonal events.
