Ahead of it’s inclusion in the game, Blizzard has published a teaser video for Overwatch‘s next Deathmatch map: Petra.
A group of archaeologists have begun an excavation and preservation project among the ruins of Petra, a new Deathmatch map that puts all heroes on their own, facing off against one another until one hero scores enough eliminations to win the match.
Take in Petra’s majestic views, from high vistas to twisting passageways and deep caverns. Travel along deadly cliffs, but be careful to not fall off! A dilapidated bridge stretches across the map, and the ground underneath it can crumble away to reveal a lethal pit. Hopping on a green jump pad will boost you up to Petra’s higher levels and unlock new strategic possibilities for you. . . .
It’s got everything you could want from a Deathmatch map; death pits, great vantage points, it looks like the temple from the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Hell, it’s got a labyrinth of caves just waiting for a certain someone to set up shop.
You probably can’t wait to tear into the map. But, unfortunately, you’ll have to wait. There’s no specific release for Petra, yet. But Overwatch‘s 2nd Anniversary is right around the corner, so at least you’ll be occupied until it does.
