Blizzard has dropped the patch notes for this week’s latest update to Overwatch 2 – which also marks the start of the game’s Halloween Terror event.

While the seasonal additions are of course the headline grabbing additions, this update is also significant as it sees the return of both Torbjorn and Bastion to the hero roster in Competitive – after they were removed to fix bugs earlier this month.

Check out the full patch notes for the new update, courtesy of Blizzard, below.
