Now that spooky season has officially started, we're beginning to see a lot of Halloween-themed events in games. To that end, Overwatch 2 has just announced that its Season 7: Rise of Darkness will start on Oct. 10, and it features, among other things, a badass Lilith skin.
The announcement came from X/Twitter, where the official Overwatch account posted a video showing off the Blizzard World map, updated to fit its annual Halloween PvE event, Junkenstein's Revenge. Right before the trailer ends, we're given a glimpse of a new Moira skin that's themed around Diablo IV's main antagonist, Lilith.
The brief trailer doesn't reveal too much else, but leaks on Reddit have already seemingly revealed Halloween appropriate skins for Widowmaker and Echo, as well as a new Mythic skin for Hanzo. See the Moira/Lilith skin below.
In addition to the newest season, over the weekend during the Overwatch League Grand Finals, devs shared a deep dive on Samoa, the latest map, which is set to be a control map that'll have players fighting over areas that include a beach, downtown, and volcano points. Samoa is scheduled to launch alongside Season 7 on Oct. 10.
It's also worth pointing out that this isn't the only Activision Blizzard IP Lilith has crossed into recently. Thanks to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0's The Haunting event, players can purchase two Diablo-themed bundles that allows them to play as both Lilith and Inarius Operators.
It's also not the first time Diablo and Overwatch have met before; other Diablo-themed Overwatch skins include Barbarian Zarya, Demon Hunter Sombra, and Butcher Roadhog.
