Overwatch 2 devs discuss what makes a map great

Blizzard has shared an official blog post describing the philosophy behind Overwatch 2’s map and level design.

In the post, the team used examples from four different maps—New Queen Street (Toronto), Colosseo (Rome), Midtown (New York City), and Circuit Royal (Monte Carlo)—to illustrate how they combine strong, thematic art direction with level design to create engaging and memorable experiences for players. All four of these maps will be available to players in the upcoming beta test, which begins on April 26.
