Not too long ago, Blizzard Entertainment officially announced the start date for the 2018 version ofOverwatch’sannual Halloween Terror event, which is going to be kicking off next week for players on all platforms. Following this announcement, the video game developer has now decided to reveal a Legendary skin for Doomfist that’s on the way that turns the cybernetically enhanced hero into a watery creature from the depths.
As seen in the tweet below,Overwatchplayers will soon be able to nab themselves the Legendary Swamp Monster Doomfist skin in the team-based shooter, as it turns the Nigerian martial artist into a version of the classic Universal Studios monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The level of detail on the forthcoming skin is impeccable, and it changes the whole dynamic of the character altogether in a Halloween-friendly way.
There’s no doubt thatOverwatch’s reveal of the Legendary Swamp Monster Doomfist skin will get players excited for what is likely to be one ofthe biggest in-game events of October, as Blizzard’s artists often design some of the most highly coveted cosmetics for the season. With this being the case, it will be interesting to see what the developer has planned for some of the game’s newest members, with the likes of Brigette, Moira, and Wrecking Ball having yet to partake in the holiday’s festivities.
All things considered,Overwatchshould see a decent uptick in players over the next few weeks, as the game’s Halloween Terror event is generally considered by the community to be one of the title’s most fun celebrations. That said, though, with October also having its fair share of major new game releases likeCall of Duty: Black Ops 4andRed Dead Redemption 2, Blizzard’s shooter might see a slight drop in players.
Overwatchis available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
