Blizzard released a new update for Overwatch that brings back the Halloween Terror PvE event. The event adds new challenges, new skins, and some unique rewards. The developers have also worked on improving the profanity filter by adding three levels to it, friendly, mature, and unfiltered. Blizzard still warns players not to be toxic in chat and encourages players to report toxic behavior in-game.
