What are the new Season 7 hero skins in Overwatch 2?

Here is a list of a few skins that will be arriving after the Season 7 update goes live for Overwatch 2:

  • Lilith Moira (Event)
  • Inarius Pharah (Event)
  • Imperious Reinhardt (Event)
  • Azmodan Wreckingball (Event)
  • Onryo Hanzo (Mythic skin)
  • Night Raven Illari
  • Rubber Duck Orisa

It is important to note that this is not the full list of all cosmetics arriving in the next seasonal update, as the battlepass and shop will also refresh and add in Halloween-themed skins. Most of the items in the shop will remain purchase-only, but the event skins may arrive with challenges if the developers follow past trends.


What are the Halloween game modes?

Players will be able to experience the popular Halloween game modes once again after the Season 7 update arrives. Here are the game modes that will become playable next season.

  • Junkenstein’s Revenge
  • Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride
  • Trials of Sanctuary (Limited Time Mode)

The developers have not confirmed if entry into both modes will be available to the entire player base or if it will require a certain pass. Considering that most events are free-to-play in Overwatch 2, there is a high chance that none of the modes will be locked behind a paywall.


More changes

Overwatch 2 will also receive a new map called Samoa for the Control Game mode. It features a lush green scenery with a complex layout of houses. The word 'tropical' would be a perfect fit to describe it, as the map design is adorned with coconut trees on the edges. Like every other OW2 map, Samoa will have different segments that will be available in the match during different rounds.

Moreover, the new update will also bring in the much-awaited Sombra and Roadhog reworks to balance the playing field for all players.


It is going to be an exciting new season for the Overwatch community as Halloween draws closer and sets a different tone. Be sure to follow Sportskeeda for more recent updates.
