Overwatch 2 – Season 19: Haunted Masquerade

It's spooky time! The Haunted Masquerade is Season 19's costumed centerpiece. Teams can don the mystical masks of each other's Heroes, each granting buffs that can flip the fight for friends or foes in these fun new compositions. You'll have the chance to dress up as any actively allied Heroes and acquire special abilities based on whose mask you wear in the spectral spectacle. But here's the real trick: some masks grant special benefits when paired with specific lore-linked Heroes, pulling from iconic Overwatch moments like Reinhardt and Brigitte bracing their shields together. That means some masks are more than power or plays, they're a chance to catch a glimpse of your Heroes' stories and channel their bonds for the win. Experiment with a visaged variety in these frightful festivities, as creativity and synergy set the tone to twisted fun for this new haunted Halloween mode!

  • Haunted Masquerade: Get your costume ready! Teams can don mystical masks of each other's Heroes, granting buffs that can flip the fight for friends or foes.
    • Junkenstein's Revenge and Wrath of the Bride also return.
  • Stadium: Torbjörn, Hazard, and Sojourn join the fray, the new Busan Sanctuary Control map, and new seasonal ranks debut with the All-Star Cassidy skin up for grabs.
    • Major updates include…
      • An Armory upgrade where Items and Builds now have dedicated sub-tabs, filters, and faster search tools.
      • Gadgets! Select one per match, and deploy them during a single, tide-turning moment.
  • Get You Costume Ready With S19's Battle Passes:
    • The Premium Battle Pass includes Divine Druid Lifeweaver Mythic Skin, a radiant guardian reborn in glowing Biolight, and Kiriko's Spirit Keeper Mythic Weapon Skin, kunai that blaze with spectral foxfire and ancient flame.

      • Legendary costumes include Oni Cassidy, Mermonster Wuyang, Vampire Moira, Ninja Sombra, and One-eyed Wilheim Reinhardt.
