Overwatch 2 Maps: Rio de Janeiro

Even though only three maps were officially introduced, NYC, Rome, and an unnamed Indian map, we got several glimpses at Toronto and Gothenburg which were introduced in 2019, and we got more looks at Rio de Janeiro.  So, today, I’m going to talk about what type of PVP map it might be, if it isn’t just a PVE map.

The three map types I think it might be are Control, Escort, or Hybrid.

Control: Out of the three types of maps, I think this is the least likely, like this just based off of one image while the other two types have several images to back them up. The only way that this could be control would be if Lucio’s turntable and the surrounding area is the control point that you have to capture. The things is, all the other pictures I got for this post goes against this theory because the map is really big, like most of the map looks like it is streets which would make sense for it being a map that has a payload. 

Escort/Hybrid: Since a lot of Rio’s terrain is city with outlined streets, apartments, and restaurants, I think that it lends itself to being a Escort or Hybrid. Personally I want it to be a hybrid where you start where Lucio’s turntable is, and the payload comes out from underneath, you follow a track that goes up to the streets phase of the map and you end up by the beach or by the Estádio das Rãs (which I learned translates to Frog’s Stadium and it kind of made my day).  

Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll post again today, I’ve been really busy in the past few days, but if I do I’ll either go over if I think Soldier 76 is going to join the Recalled Overwatch or I’ll speculate about what the Junkers might be doing. 

TLDR: If Rio de Janeiro is a PVP map, I think it will be either a Escort of Hybrid with a slight possibility of it being Control.
