Overwatch 2 devs show off New York, Rome, and new hero designs
You're probably not getting your hands on Overwatch 2 anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you're not getting some teases to obsess over. The latest titbits dished out by Blizzard at BlizzCon 2021 include a look at two new maps and some of Overwatch 2's new looks for familiar heroes.
Overwatch 2 was oddly absent from the opening segment, but we still got a peep at what's going on behind the scenes in a deep dive panel. Overwatch 2 will feature a wave of new maps, but the two we saw tonight are Rome and New York. Blizzard's version of Rome sees old-style architecture meet Overwatch futurism. There's even a colosseum, which looks like a good place to duel a pesky Reaper.
The upcoming New York map features a similar design philosophy. You've got the city's classic architecture spliced together with the high-tec stylings of Overwatch's future. Blizzard also reveals that it's bringing dynamic weather to each map, too. If you're on Anubis, your visibility may become impared with a sandstorm. We didn't see how it would affect the new maps, but we can use our imaginations for now.
