Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you know that Overwatch has been a smash hit in the gaming community; especially with regards to eSports competitions. Blizzard on occasion released new skins for its characters -- as witnessed by the recent Summer Games event -- and a new leak shows us more of what Blizzard has in store for its 2017 Halloween Terror event.

We say "more" because Blizzard has already revealed costumes for two popular characters: Reaper gets into the Halloween spirit dressed as Dracula, while McCree goes vampire hunting as Van Helsing.

And monsters appear
A great evil gathers

The new leaks, which come courtesy of reddit user Mnemosynaut, give us a glimpse at Mei, Zenyetta, and Symmetra. Mei transforms into Jiangshi, which is a Chinese "hopping" vampire. Zenyatta goes as a Cthulhu-inspired Omnic. Finally, we see Symmetra as a Middle Eastern fire demon. We don't know if the Halloween makeovers are limited to just these characters, but you won't have to wait long to find out.

The Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017 event begins later today, and will wrap up on November 2^nd. You can expect to see loot boxes dressed up as jack-o-lanterns and 50 new items to collect during the event.

Gamers will be able to take part in the ghoulish festivities on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms.
