Hallow's End Hits In World Of Warcraft And Hearthstone

Note: Activision Blizzard is still under investigation by the state of California for serious harassment charges.

Hallow's End has arrived in World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, so you're covered for spookiness no matter where you journey in Azeroth! In WoW, the Headless Horseman is on the prowl in Razor Hill and Goldshire, and terrorizing the populace by setting fires, and it's your job to put them out. Or, you can challenge the Horseman himself in the Scarlet Monastery's Graveyard dungeon, with a chance to receive his mount if you prevail.

There are 21 achievements in total to earn during the event, which runs until November 1, and you can also receive four bewitching hats via a series of quests that kick off in Bradensbrook. Learn more about the Hallow's End even on the World of Warcraft site.

In Hearthstone, you can claim two free skins -- Pirate King Garrosh today and Stormwind Guard Guff on October 26 -- and pick up the Fairy Tales Bundle in the shop for additional skins for Hunter, Mage, Priest, and Shaman. A bundle for Battlegrounds includes Gala Medivh alternate Bartender and seven hero skins.

In terms of the game itself, old Tavern Brawls return, and there's a new one on November 3, where you'll play as the Headless Horseman himself. On November 2, you'll be able to partake of a legendary quest chain to nab four packs, dual-class Arena mode comes back, and dual-class (Warrior/Warlock) Diablo invades Duels and Battlegrounds.

The Hallow's End festivities run until November 9, and you can learn more about them by visiting the Hearthstone site.
