"The Halloween event this year is called Haunted Masquerade, and it lets you put on masks based on different heroes that grant you different perks. Some of these buffs are simple, such as Tracer's mask granting you increased movement speed and Junkrat's making your enemies explode when they die. Other hidden perks are found when you pair some masks with specific heroes. If you're playing as Brigitte, for example, wearing the Reinhardt mask will make your shield as large as his."
"On the Stadium side of things, Torbjörn, Sojourn, and Hazard are being added to the build-centric mode, and some of their upgrades look pretty nasty. Torb can create multiple upgradable turrets to place around the field, Sojourn can get a Soldier: 76-style auto-aim when she ults, and Hazard can now shoot bursts from the spikes on his back. Those are just a few examples of how their play styles will no doubt change as you upgrade and tweak your build throughout Stadium's long matches."
Season 19 of Overwatch 2 begins October 14 and returns Halloween content while introducing new modes, gameplay tweaks, and rarer rewards. The Haunted Masquerade event grants hero-based masks that provide unique perks, including Tracer's increased movement speed and Junkrat's explosive deaths, with hidden bonuses from specific mask-and-hero pairings like Brigitte gaining Reinhardt-sized shields. Stadium adds Torbjörn, Sojourn, and Hazard with upgradeable build mechanics—examples include multiple Torbjörn turrets, Sojourn gaining Soldier: 76-style auto-aim on ultimate, and Hazard firing spikes. Ana receives a loadout rework, all heroes gain consumable gadgets for temporary buffs, and Season 20 hints at hero 45.
