The popularity of Junkenstein's laboratory caused Supervision 2 to give it an unprecedented level of attention.

While the game mode itself was a big hit, the celebration was marred by a lack of incentives to try it out. Ideally, future events can learn from the positives and negatives of Halloween Terror 2024 to improve future operations.
