Blizzard: 'Overwatch' and 'World of Warcraft'

Blizzard is no stranger to courting the Halloween crowd (Diablo is practically tailor-made for it), but it's going the extra mile this year.  Overwatch is the star of the show with Halloween Terror, which offers themed skins, stickers and the players-versus-AI Junkenstein's Revenge mode. However, World of Warcraft fans will also get to revisit Hallow's End, an annual event that offers special quests, costumes, decorations and wands.  In either case, you'll have until November 1st to enjoy the festivities.
