"Contest for position in MEKA Base--home of South Korea's frontline defense against the gwishin omnic attacks: D.Va and the rest of the MEKA squad," it continues. "Teams must fight to hold each of the three stages to establish complete control of the city that refuses to surrender its way of life to any threat." Check out the trailer above.
The new map is available now on the Public Test Realm, letting anyone who owns a PC copy of the game try it out. To do so, you'll need to first download the PTR client from the Battle.net launcher.
Alongside news of the map, Blizzard released a new animated short featuring D.Va. During the show the Lego Group also teased that an announcement concerning a collaboration between Overwatch and Lego is coming soon. It showed the outlines of six Lego figures that are styled after various Overwatch heroes. During a recent interview, the developers behind Diablo 3 on Switch discussed working with Nintendo's console, saying Overwatch on Switch is feasible.
