Overwatch 2: New Maps Revealed

BY JC Paredes • 5 years AGO • 3 MIN READ

Blizzard is giving fans a sneak peek into how the new locations will work, as well as how the new formats must be played to come out on top. Devs also verified that the 5v5 change to the way PVP is played in Overwatch 2 will apply to both the original layouts from Overwatch 1 and the new maps.

New York, New York

  • A hybrid map in which the attacking team must first exploit a point before escorting a payload along a route to win. Grand Central Terminal is one of the map’s most prominent locations, as it is where the payload’s route comes to a close.

Toronto

  • The next map showcased was Toronto, which had been verified as the first new map for Overwatch 2 since the game’s announcement. In addition to the Canadian battlefield, the sequel will feature a newly designed game mode dubbed “Push”.
  • “Push” is a tug-of-war-style mode in which players must steer a cyborg named “T.W.O.” around the map. Toronto, of course, contains references to the nation’s favorite pastime, hockey.

Rio

  • Then there was Rio, the homeland of support persona Lucio, whose position as a local will be highlighted all across the new map. Rio will be a hybrid map with places such as Lucio’s club, Club Sinestesia. Peacock floats will be the payload.

Rome

  • Then there was the fresh map Rome, a Push map that will transport gamers to the Italian capital and allow them to travel past the Colosseum and other iconic places.

Monte Carlo

  • The closing map revealed during the event was Monte Carlo. The designers sported that this destination will have a special affiliation to the broader story of Overwatch 2. They also hinted that every new area plays differently than the previous one.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
