The first three maps have been introduced with artwork in Overwatch.
Ah, it’s a bit like in a Bond film. In London, red buses drive, in Egypt there’s no Arab Spring, but the Sphinx, and in Japan they don’t worry about Fukushima, the economic crisis or the Yakuza, but there are cherry blossoms.
The world is fine in Overwatch, the new shooter from Blizzard. It doesn’t take place in a fantasy world, but in the future of our Earth, well, “future” and “our.”
We have images of the artwork of the three maps for you, which already give a taste of the aesthetics that Blizzard envisions here.
Hanamura will be the map in Japan. It’s a “remote retreat” far from the hustle and bustle of the technized metropolis. It is played here in the well-known point control mode. Known to Blizzard veterans as “At least we have the stables!”-Arathi Basin.
The Temple of Anubis in Egypt serves as the backdrop for the second control map in Overwatch. Players fight for control of the temple and there are “secrets” lurking here.
In terms of game mode, King’s Row in London stands out. In “payload escort mode,” one team must try to get the “payload” to a destination. The other team must try to prevent it.
Here you can read more about Overwatch, Blizzard’s new shooter, and what they had in mind.
