The event is an arcade-style PvP mode that introduces Hero Masks. Hero Masks are pretty ridiculous to look at, as they are designed to look like cardboard cutouts of each hero&#8217;s face. However, the mechanics of the mask are particularly interesting, as they offer unique abilities. The game mode is a regular 6v6 match, but each player receives a buff from their chosen mask and a silly look thanks to the flimsy cardboard aesthetic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-heading-691de0289c8dd\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"how_to_play_haunted_masquerade_and_useful_tips-2\">How to play Haunted Masquerade and useful tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Overwatch 2 character stands confidently in a futuristic room, surrounded by pumpkins and glowing tech screens\" class=\"wp-image-214047 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.declareitspiritwear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/How-to-play-Haunted-Masquerade-and-useful-tips-large.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The masks in Halloween Masquerade add a touch of silliness that feels well-suited to the seasonal event \/ Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-691de0289d52d\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Haunted Masquerade is all about having fun with the different masks. Each mask offers a specific ability related to the hero whose face is on the front of it. In each round, there are six masks available to pick from, though they can only choose from the six heroes each player picks during a game. Players can change their chosen hero between rounds, but once a game begins, they are locked in. Masks can be changed at any point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-691de0289e00e\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Not all the Overwatch heroes are available to play as in Halloween Masquerade.

As well as regular abilities, there are also some special abilities that specific masks offer to heroes. For instance, Ana\u2019s mask has one general ability that all heroes gain when equipped, but it also has a special ability unique to Soldier: 76 when he equips it.
