New Map
With a new Hero and a bunch of new game modes, the update wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t include a new map for us to try it all out on. Overwatch’s 2.0 update adds Ecopoint: Antartica, a small Arena map that can also be played in the Arcade. Here’s the official description and background story for the map:
“Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, the former Overwatch installation where climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou was once stationed. While researching severe weather anomalies in the region, the station was hit by an intense polar storm. Running out of options and low on supplies, the team decided to cryogenically freeze themselves until the storm passed. They believed that it would only be for a few months, but Mei awoke nearly a decade later.”
