Numerous updates—among them, a new map, a new figure of Hana “D.Va” Song and a new in-game skin for D.Va—were unveiled at Korea’s Overwatch Fan Festival on Wednesday, Aug. 22.
The most major update is the addition of a Busan, South Korea map following the latest Overwatch cinematic short, which focuses on D.Va and takes place in her homeland of South Korea. It is a control map, which means that a team has to capture a specific point and hold it until the capture meter reaches 100 percent. The map has three locales: Sanctuary, Downtown and MEKA Base.
The description for the trailer of the map states:
Explore the serene setting of the Sanctuary, surrounded by an ancient temple, beautiful gardens, and historic architecture. Clash in the bustling metropolis of Downtown, where players will fight across a busy PC bang, flashy karaoke bar, and central light rail station (just watch out for the train). Contest for position in MEKA Base—home of South Korea’s frontline defense against the gwishin omnic attacks: D.Va and the rest of the MEKA squad. Teams must fight to hold each of the three stages to establish complete control of the city that refuses to surrender its way of life to any threat.
