Overwatch is getting in the spooky spirit again next week, with developer Blizzard Entertainment confirming that its annual Halloween Terror event will be making a comeback on October 9.

The event will run for quite a few weeks, wrapping up on October 31. Right now there's not a lot to go on, with Blizzard only posting a brief teaser on Twitter, although there's a few things worth taking note of.

The first is the Dr. Junkenstein Junkrat Skin, which should be familiar to Overwatch fans, and the teaser also shows the Eichenwalde map. This is pretty significant, as this same map was given a Halloween makeover last year – will it make a comeback for this year's event?

We can also presumably expect a trick-or-treat bag full of new skins and other cosmetic items, so keep your eyes peeled. Check out the teaser below to tide you over.
