Best spooky skins to use in Overwatch 2 this Halloween

At the time of writing – October 2025– we’re in the midst of the spooky season, and plenty of games are showing their seasonal spirit with in-game events related to the new Overwatch Halloween event for 2025. 

It’s called the Overwatch Haunted Masquerade, but there is also a range of spooky skins that players can enjoy if they are in the mood to dress for the occasion. 

We’re going to look at 10 particularly noteworthy Halloween skins in Overwatch 2 that are great options for those looking to dress up in-game this Halloween. 

It was a toss-up between the Cthulhu-like Cultist Zenyatta skin and the Cursed Teddy skin for this list, but ultimately, Cursed Teddy came out on top due to its simple yet effective design. Cultist Zenyatta is a tentacled delight, but Cursed Teddy is a highly creative take on a relatively underutilized cursed stuffed animal horror trope. 

The adorable teddy bear head that Zenyatta dons with this skin is equal parts cute and unnerving, making it a standout Halloween skin choice. Cursed Teddy is also one of Overwatch’s new skins, releasing in season 19 and only available in the premium battle pass. 

Released in the 2018 Overwatch Halloween Terror event, Wrecking Ball’s Jack- O’- Lantern is a great Halloween skin that truly embodies the spirit of the season. The spherical mech that hamster Hammond sits in lends itself well to a pumpkin design, but the skin goes a step further by redesigning Hammond himself as an adorable scarecrow hamster hybrid. 

The Vampire Hunter Overwatch skin redesigns support hero Brigitte to make her look like a hunter of supernatural creatures. The Witcher vibes are awesome with this skin, with Brig donning a look that is similar to Ciri from The Witcher game series. Her skin has been significantly paler, and her hair is platinum blonde, emphasizing the fantasy look. Brigitte’s mace also gets a glowing green makeover, while her shield changes to a coffin-like shape. 

Will-O-Wisp Tracer is another example of how effective a simple idea can be when executed well. Tracer is transformed into a glowing ghostly figure, complete with pupilless eyes and pale green skin. Her design is based on the will-o’-wisps from folklore, a ghost-like lantern creature. 

These creatures have been portrayed as mischievous by leading travelers away from their path. However, they have also been portrayed as benevolent, leading people where they need to go when lost. Tracer’s design is inspired by the ethereal flame that will-o’-wisps are known for in mythology. 

Next up is a highly anticipated skin that didn’t disappoint when it was finally released in November 2023. The contrast of Zombie Doctor Mercy’s pale, greenish skin – complete with stitch marks where she’s been sewn together–, and her white, lifeless eyes with her pink and white nurse uniform is fantastic, but also eerie. The inclusion of a mask is also a nice touch, as it leaves players wondering what Mercy is hiding behind it, and how much scarier the skin would be if she were to take it off.  

Shin-Ryeong D.Va is not only a skin that has an excellent design for both the mech and D.Va herself, but it also incorporates Korean mythology in a way that makes players want to know more. Shin-Ryeong – or 신령 in Hangul, the Korean alphabet – translates loosely to a female ghost/spirit who is drawn to certain locations. 

This is why the mech itself is designed to look like a temple, and Hana is the fox-like spirit dwelling within. Creatively and perfectly executed, Shin-Ryeong manages to draw on Hana’s Korean heritage while also being a cool, creepy skin in its own right. 

Roadhog was the main event of the Junkenstein Halloween events in Overwatch back when it first started, as he was the final boss that players fought against in the limited-time game mode. This skin has become synonymous with Halloween in Overwatch because of, but also because of how excellent it is as a skin in general. 

Roadhog’s usual look is completely transformed as he takes on the look of a put-together experiment, complete with clumsy stitches, staples, and various nuts and bolts holding him together. It’s no surprise that this is an iconic Halloween Overwatch skin, and it continues to be one of the best years after its release. 

Another awesome undead skin is Draugr Reinhardt, which redesigns the tank hero as the ghostly, undead Draugr creature from Norse mythology. It’s the little details that make this such a great skin, such as the broken arrows stuck in Reinhardt’s armor, the blue glowing eyes, and the exposed teeth. There is a story behind this skin, and it’s hard not to be interested in what could have happened to this version of Reinhardt in what was clearly an epic battle. 

Mercy’s Witch skin is an absolute classic when it comes to Overwatch Halloween skins, and it manages to stay as iconic in 2025 as it has always been. Mercy fits into the witch look with style and grace, and the details of her costume are perfectly implemented, such as the broomstick staff, her witch hat, and the magic spell book on her hip. Mercy also gets some unique voice lines with this skin, emphasizing her role as a magic-wielding sorceress and making everything feel more unique. 

Our top spot for the best Overwatch Halloween skins has to go to Dragon Symmetra. The creativity of Symmetra’s draconic redesign is second to none. From her horns to her clawed hands, scaly body, and the wings wrapped around her waist, everything is flawlessly executed. 

The fiery glow that emanates from Sym’s chest and eyes is also a nice touch, suggesting that she is truly housing a dragon whose fire is ready to burst. Those looking for a spooky skin with an amazing design and fantastic execution won’t be disappointed with Dragon Symmetra. 

Those are the 10 best spooky skins that players can enjoy in Overwatch 2 right now. These skins all have great designs, but they also suit each hero perfectly, and some (though not all) also have unique voice lines and effects. If you’re looking to get your hands on a Halloween-themed Overwatch 2 skin this spooky season, these options are definitely worth checking out.
