There were originally 12 maps at the launch of the game for Standard Play (three each for Assault, Escort, Hybrid, and Control). Since then, over 20 additional maps have been added. New maps are released roughly every 4 months. Arcade maps are released arbitrarily, but they often come with an event.

Alongside the launch of Overwatch 2, multiple new maps for each of the core game modes, including the new Push and Flashpoint modes. 10 new maps have been released, with an additional 3 included as story mission maps.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Maps are usually released in every four months, coinciding with every odd-numbered season except for Season 5.
  • In Overwatch 1:
    • The September map is usually revealed during gamescom alongside an animated short. In 2018, Busan and the animated short Shooting Star were revealed at the Korean Fan Festival instead, which happened simultaneously with gamescom. In 2019, Blizzard did not attend gamescom and thus no map was announced there.
    • The January map used to be revealed during BlizzCon alongside an animated short and a new hero; however, as of 2018, Blizzard has stopped doing this. Their reasoning is that they felt map announcements lose their impact if they are announced too early.[1]
    • Rialto and Havana were revealed through Overwatch Archives, and were both playable for the event before they were released for standard gameplay.
  • India was first shown off in the Overwatch 2 Gameplay trailer at BlizzCon 2019, but was not officially named or announced until BlizzConline.
  • Gothenburg was first shown to be an Assault map in the Overwatch 2 Gameplay trailer at BlizzCon 2019, but later during BlizzConline, Jeff Kaplan confirmed that the game mode would be retired from competitive, and that there will be no new Assault maps in Overwatch 2.
  • New Queen Street, Circuit Royal, Colosseo, and Midtown were initially announced with the names of the cities where they are set (Toronto, Monte Carlo, Rome, and New York respectively.) They were given official names with the announcement of the Overwatch 2 PvP Beta one year after BlizzConline.[2]
  • Paraíso was initially announced as Rio de Janeiro, but changed with a tweet from Overwatch team.[3]
  • Talantis was the first community-made map to temporarily join the roster.
