The Fourth Annual Spectral Halloween Special is an upcoming major update.

One of the released features will be Wave 666, a modified version of Mann vs Machine pits the player against zombie reskins of robots, another — Merasmus the Magician as a ghost-boss of new KotH map, which name remains unmentioned.

Timeline

On October 23, 2012, the head of the Spy portrait on the TF2 Official Blog was changed to resemble a skull. Clicking on the skull led to a hidden page, with a newspaper page titled "The Teufort Reader". The bottom of the newspaper is ripped, showing two cards with odd symbols.

The following day, a comic titled Doom-Mates was released. The comic details Merasmus' return home from his weekend at WizardCon, and his growing resentment towards the Soldier.

The next day a page was posted announcing the update would be the next day of October 26th and gave a link to the update page with all the info. It announced a new MvM mission called "Wave 666" where instead of fighting robots you would be fighting zombies, and a new Halloween King of the Hill match with Merasmus the Magician (with the Bombinomicon) as the boss. It added two new achievements, and a New item Magic Spells. Magic Spells are spells you can cast on other items in your backpack to give them new effects– shifting paint colors, ghost summoning, flaming footsteps and more! The Gift Drop system will be different this year. Last year, gifts spawned publicly and could be claimed by whoever got there first. This year, players will receive private gift spawns that they can grab at their leisure without having to race everyone on the server for them.
