Graveyard Games and Dokiwatch return for Halloween
Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games gives Mystery Heroes a chaotic twist, with deaths triggering random modifiers. The season also brings back Dokiwatch, this time with Ramattra as its villain and more magical-girl outfits.
Solo Leveling skins arrive for a limited time
The crossover outfits pair Genji with Sung Jinwoo, Reaper with Igris, Anran with Chae Hae-In, Reinhardt with Iron, and Lifeweaver with Choi Jong-In. The Genji skin casts him as Sung Jinwoo, while the full lineup is available from Oct. 6 through Oct. 26.
The Halloween Battle Pass adds Legendary skins for Ashe, Soldier: 76, Mei, Junker Queen, and Zenyatta, along with Epic skins for Bastion, Brigitte, and Symmetra. Wuyang will receive a Mythic skin, while Lucio’s Mythic weapon skin includes a tiny breakdancing frog.
Season 5 also brings Doctrine, Grímsvötn, and reworks for Sombra and Roadhog. Sombra is moving from Damage to Support, while Roadhog’s rework retires his one-shot combo.
