Learn all about the making of the next Overwatch Escort map.
The next map heading to Overwatch – and currently in testing on the game’s PTR – is Junkertown. In the build-up to release, Blizzard has released a new video about the making of this brand new Escort battleground.
In it you’ll find plenty of fascinating insight into the lore behind this thematic home of heroes Junkrat and Roadhog, and a look at how the map itself was actually made.
As well as going through the visual design process, it also explains how the sound team managed to capture so much authentic audio flair from visiting an old ghost town and messing around with cranks, levers and rusty old fences.
Here’s the full video:
The release date for Junkertown has yet to be confirmed by Blizzard, but we imagine it’ll pop up on the live servers within the next week or so, given the timing of this video.
As soon as we have a firm release date from Blizzard, we’ll make a post about it on the homepage.
