Overwatch’s new German map announced at Gamescom

Blizzard used Germany’s Gamescom event to announce a new map set in the country.

Eichenwalde is set in an abandoned castle in Stuttgart, Germany, and will act as an Assault/Escort hybrid map.

Available from September, we’ll be able to try out the map here on the Gamescom floor. Expect our thoughts shortly.

Blizzard will also be unveiling a new animated short — “The Last Bastion” — at Gamescom later in the week. Expect that from 2.00 am AEST on 19 August.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
