Overwatch: Six maps are currently in development; we’ll likely see three this year

Overwatch has six maps in development, and fans are likely to see three of them before the end of the year, Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan recently confirmed.

“We currently have 3 maps in development, all past the initial playtesting phase that are ‘standard’ maps (QP/Comp),” Kaplan said. “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),” Kaplan continued. “We also have a few other experiments going on. Hopefully this will satisfy some of what you’re looking for. We want to play on these maps as badly as you guys do. We’ll work as fast as we can!”

What types of maps are you looking forward to? Open and sprawling, or tight and menacing?

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
