As the month of October begins, fans of "Overwatch" are expecting for a Halloween event, especially after the fun and exciting summer event. To recall, last year's Halloween event for Blizzard FPS "Overwatch" was successful at releasing new maps, exclusive skins, and other amazing loot for its gamers.

This year, fans can expect another Halloween event, as revealed by a Reddit user. The post shows alleged promotional art for the game. Aside from that, it also reveals the date when the festivities will launch which is on Oct. 9. The leaked poster also reveals a $20 gift card for Xbox One and says that once you buy an "Overwatch" balance card, you can unlock Halloween skins, sprays, and more.

It adds that you can also buy PlayStation or Xbox balance cards for loot boxes on the console.

Usually, Blizzard would make an official announcement a day before an event. Hence, many are not surprised that there isn't any news of a Halloween event yet. But with the leaked details on Reddit, it appears that the wait is now over. However, the poster may also mean that the official start of the event is on Oct. 10 with an announcement slated on Oct. 9.

Along with the poster is a placeholder post that says "10/9/17 Overwatch GME POSA Spinner Header Card." Fans of the game need to take this news with a grain of salt since it isn't an official announcement from Blizzard yet.
