Overwatch Halloween Terror 2019: Teaser Reveals New Zenyatta Emote
The first teaser for Overwatch's Halloween Terror 2019 event has finally seen the light of day - and it shows off the new Zenyatta emote that some players have been coveting since the game's launch.
Halloween Terror is one of the most popular Overwatch events of the year, and now we finally know when the event will take place.
The start of the event also coincides with the release of Overwatch on console Nintendo, which means that Halloween Terror will be one of the first things Switch players will see upon download.
So, the Overwatch Halloween Terror event starts on October 15th and ends on November 4th, so players shouldn't waste time getting Halloween loot boxes.
We still haven't seen any leaks or teasers for this year's new Halloween skins, but Overwatch dropped a preview of an emote that finally lets the world-roaming robot monk get back on its feet.
Be reborn. 🙏

The Fantastic Emote allows Zenyatta to change her usual sitting posture to stretch her joints after swimming cross-legged for the past three years.
I think you noticed that he looks around before resuming his classic hover.
The idea of Zenyatta standing or walking on his little-used legs has been a popular meme since Blizzard actually made him walk during the first season Overwatch League.
New Halloween map skin?
Eichenwalde, Hollywood and Chateau Gaillard are getting their traditional Halloween makeover this year, and there's a good chance Junkertown will join them.
Assets for what appears to be the Night Version Junkertown leaked to Youtube in September, with more items missing from the first checkpoint area.
The source admits that we should take this with a grain of salt, as someone could have simply darkened an already existing card to look like a Halloween re-skin.
A new trailer from Overwatch finally gives us a preview of some of the new content coming to the event in 2019, and finally confirms when the event starts.
Zenyatta fans will finally be able to let their hero stand on his own two feet, even if it looks completely wrong.
