Alongside the thundering hype train that was the Sombra reveal, Overwatch director Jeff ‘Messiah’ Kaplan has also revealed other new features coming to the game. Overwatch will be delivering players two new maps, “Oasis” and “Ecopoint: Antarctica”, and new feature, “Overwatch Arcade”, with all this new content being made available to players soon.
NEW MAP – OASIS
There’s trouble in paradise as conflict breaks out in Oasis, a brand-new Control map set in a shining jewel of prosperity surrounded by a lifeless desert.
NEW MAP – ECOPOINT: ANTARCTICA
Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, a compact new arena map featuring multiple new game modes, including a 3-vs.-3 battle and 1-on-1 duel. Face off at the remote scientific outpost where brilliant climatologist Mei spent years in cryostasis following a catastrophic polar storm.
NEW FEATURE – OVERWATCH ARCADE
Discover new ways to fight for the future in the Overwatch Arcade. Choose from a variety of regularly rotating alternate game modes, including 1-on-1 duels, 3-vs.-3 skirmishes, and special rulesets like “no hero switching”—and earn rewards like bonus experience and loot. Quick Play is also getting a revamp and will play much the same as Competitive mode using single hero picks (no more facing up against six angry Harambe)
