'Overwatch': Blizzard's Strategy On 2019 Halloween Event Puts Many Fans On Confusion

Blizzard is still working on the "Overwatch" Halloween 2019 event. The studio has not yet confirmed the release date of the upcoming event, resulting in a number of rumors about this year’s Terror reveal.

There’s not much information about the 2019 "Overwatch" Halloween event. Blizzard has decided to remain tight-lipped on the upcoming event. Historically, the company provides an update and important details a few days before the event goes live. But, this time, it’s different and quite intriguing. The change in strategy has resulted in a guessing game.

Fans are wondering when the big event will be going live. Like the previous Summer Games from 2019, this huge Halloween event could go live without building up much buzz or fanfare.

Fans are looking for the date October 8, Tuesday, as the most likely date where the event will go live. Blizzard has a history of taking the second Tuesday of the month as the preferred time to launch their holiday celebrations. However, this latest Halloween celebration is quite different. The company has not released any useful information about the event, even a hint.

There have been some suggestions from the "Overwatch" community that Blizzard might delay this year’s Halloween event, which might fall in line with the game’s launch on Nintendo Switch console. In other words, the possible release date will be on October 15.

Some fans are pointed out to the recent interview with the gaming website Eurogamer, where the two of the game’s producers implied that the 2019 Halloween event will start on the fifteenth day of the current month. Others made some interesting explanation about the delay. They said that Blizzard would need to extend the Halloween event by a few days for it to be active on October 31, if Blizzard will launch it in the coming days. Last year, the "Overwatch" Halloween Terror event started on October 9 and ended on October 31.

Fans are hoping that Blizzard can offer an update this week confirming the release date for the much-awaited "Overwatch" Halloween 2019. The upcoming event is expected to be released as a free update on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
