Blizzard Confirms 3 New Maps Are Coming To Overwatch

In FPS games, the maps played in are just as important as your character, skills, and weapons. This is why despite there being many maps available for Counter-Strike, only a handful are chosen during competitive play. That being said if you’re looking for new challenges and mix it up in Overwatch, you’re in luck.

In a post on the Overwatch forums, the game’s director Jeff Kaplan confirmed that they are working on 3 new maps for the game that will be release for Quick Play and Competitive Play. Kaplan also confirmed that there will be an additional 3 non-standard maps in development that will not be part of Quick Play or Competitive.

According to Kaplan, “We currently have 3 maps in development, all past the initial playtesting phase that are “standard” maps (QP/Comp). While something could always change, all 3 of those are looking likely for a release this year. We also have 3 non-standard maps in development (these won’t go in QP/Comp). We also have a few other experiments going on.”

As he states, the maps are set for a release this year, although when exactly they will be released remains to be seen, but it’s something that Overwatch players will want to keep an eye out for.
