Halloween Terror 2022 is scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM on October 25, 2022 (PDT) and concludes on November 8, 2022 (PST). It features a new co-op mission alongside seasonal skins, cosmetics, and other rewards.
This event features a co-op mode known as the Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride. Take the roles of Sojourn, Kiriko, Junker Queen, and Ashe as they defend Eichenwalde from the retribution of the Bride, Sombra.
While there are no Challenge Missions available for this event's newest game modes, you can still choose between 4 difficulties, Story, Hard, Expert, and Legendary, and see how you measure up against the Bride and her allies!
Each difficulty increases the enemy's HP and the number of enemies you encounter for each part of the game mode. It's recommended that you choose the Story
difficulty first and climb up the difficulty levels if you aren't familiar with the game mode.

Challenge Missions returns in this year's Halloween Terror event available for Junkenstein Mode. Players will be able to choose between 6 modified versions of the featured game mode, such as a reduced 3-player team or faster-moving Zomnics.
Below is the list of Challenge Missions available for this year's Halloween Terror event.
Halloween Terror 2022 Challenge Missions | |
---|---|
Challenge | Details |
In this challenge, an invincible ghost impedes the players as they try to complete Junkenstein's Revenge. This vengeful ghost damages the players and cannot be defeated. | |
As the in-game description implies, the Zomnics in this challenge move faster, increasing the difficulty. Other than that, everything else is the same as the regular Junkenstein's Revenge. | |
Instead of the regular 4-player teams, players will form a 3-person team to take on Junkenstein's Revenge. It's not all doom and gloom, however, as each player's damage output is also increased to compensate for the diminished manpower. | |
When defeating an enemy it may randomly spawn a Shock-Tire in its place. Shock-Tires usually only spawn during boss waves in the regular version of Junkenstein's Revenge, but in this challenge, they also spawn during regular enemy waves. | |
In this challenge, whenever Zomnics get within close proximity to the player they explode, damaging the player. | |
In this challenge, players' heroes randomly swap mid-battle. This 'mystery swap' happens at frequent intervals. |

The Halloween Terror Event is held every year from mid-October to early November. When it was first introduced in 2016, the Junkenstein's Revenge Game Mode was also introduced. Since then, it has been expanded to include Junkenstein's Endless and, most recently, Wrath of the Bride.
In this year's Halloween Terror event, players can obtain rewards by completing the event challenges, which will give them Battle Pass XP and cosmetics. Previous Halloween Terror Event had a wide range of Halloween-themed skins and other cosmetics such as sprays, icons, emotes, and intros available through weekly challenges, loot boxes, and purchases.
The Halloween Terror Event has its own lore in the form of official spin-off comics. There are 2 so far; Blizzard Entertainment #9: Overwatch 'Junkenstein' and Blizzard Entertainment: Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017 'The Return of Junkenstein'. In these 2 short comics, the tale of how 4 heroes take on the evil Dr. Junkenstein and his creations bring peace to the town of Adlersbrunn.
All Official Overwatch Comics and Short Stories
In Junkenstein's Revenge, players team up in a 4 player co-op PVE brawl. Each player chooses one out of a limited roster of heroes to defend the castle doors in the fight against Dr. Junkenstein and his fiends.
If a player dies, they respawn after a 12-second wait period. If at any point, all 4 players are simultaneously eliminated, the game ends. If the doors are broken down by the enemy (all door health is eliminated) the game ends. The players win by successfully defeating all of the enemies and bosses.
Similarly to Junkenstein's Revenge, players form a 4-person team from a limited hero roster. They then must take down 12 waves of enemies and bosses to win. Additionally, 15 bonus waves and a final boss battle proceed with the first 12 waves. However, it is not considered a loss if these bonus waves are failed.
As with Junkenstein's Revenge, if all players are simultaneously eliminated, or the castle doors are destroyed, the game is over. This mode is faster-paced than Junkenstein's Revenge, with regular waves of enemies and bosses every minute.
