Blizzard has been busy at this year's Gamescom, bringing something for each of its games. But the publisher has something particularly new for Overwatch, as Blizzard revealed a brand new Control map.
Busan pays tribute to one of Blizzard and Overwatch's most loyal regions, as it's modeled after the South Korean port city of the same name. Some of the locales will look familiar to anyone who's visited the area. Players will be doing battle along the city's shore, as well as its central metropolis. Sanctuary, Downtown, and MEKA Base will act as the map's three main districts.
The reveal of MEKA base also sets the stage for Overwatch's latest animated short, this time centered around D.Va. This short reveals the mech pilot's origins as a world famous esports superstar, as well as a skilled mechanic. Viewers can watch her do some fancy flying, as she risks her well-being to save the world.
Those looking to try out the Busan map can do so right now on the Overwatch PTR. Look for it to hit the wider PC servers, as well as Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the future.
