Overwatch 2's next map breaks the ice on Mei's backstory

Overwatch 2 Season 3 is dropping next week, and Blizzard has shown off a new map that will be arriving when the season arrives, Antarctic Peninsula.

Early next week, February 7 to be precise, Overwatch 2 Season 3 is coming to the competitive shooter. While full details on what to expect aren’t out just yet, Blizzard has offered us a small look at the next map, Antarctic Peninsula, which looks like you’ll need to have your favourite heroes dressing up a bit warmer for. This map is specifically designed for the Control game mode, and consists of three points to capture: one that surrounds a mini drill, one on an icebreaker ship, and another in the science labs.

Designing the map was apparently more of a challenge than normal, according to level designer Trey Spisak (thanks, PC Gamer). “We’re used to working on you know, sort of modular, street, city-based stuff that has a lot of like real world reference, that’s great to look at. All of a sudden, we say we’re gonna do Antarctica and you Google ‘Antarctic,’ and you go, oh, you know, that’s a problem.”
