Diablo 4 & Halloween Skins in Overwatch 2 Season 7
First let's talk about the most important part: the skins! There will be a total of 17 new skins with a spooky look to match the upcoming Halloween event. Some Diablo characters are also recognizable among the skins, such as Lilith as Moira, Inarius as Pharah, Imperious as Reinhardt and Azmodan as Wrecking Ball.

New Game Mode: Trials Of Sanctuary
Season 7 sends you and your friends into the new Diablo-themed co-op mode: Trials of Sanctuary, where you will be battling various bosses. Of course, the bosses, and characters you will be playing are also from Diablo, such as Demon Hunter Sombra or Barbarian Zarya.
New Map: Samoa
The new Control map is supposed to be pretty complex and gives off tropical vibes. On Tuesday, you can already play it in Arcade and Quick Play. It will be added to the Competitive Mode later in the season.
Hero Adjustments
Sombra is getting a makeover: her abilities were adjusted to make her feel more impactful, and her new ability Virus allows her to deal more damage.
Bastion and Zarya are being nerfed because they are just too damn good. Additionally, Mei, Orisa, Ramattra, Wrecking Ball, Cassidy, Torbjorn, Brigitte and Illari are receiving adjustments.
