Overwatch 2 Maps: New York City

When NYC was announced to be a map in OW2 I was SUPER excited. I, myself, was not born in New York, but most of my family, on both of my parent’s sides, is from different places in New York state. We don’t know to much about NYC when talking about the lore of Overwatch, but I have some theories.

Theory 1: NYC has a something similar to London’s Underworld. The Underworld is a city found beneath London where most of London’s Omnic population lives. Having a place like this in NYC would be a good way to add more Omnic character’s into the game, either as playable characters or NPCs. 

Theory 2: Overwatch has a base in NYC. While going over all of the images the OW Devs. showed us during the Behind the Scenes of OW2, I found concept art for a tower in Manhattan. It gives me Stark Tower/Avengers Tower vibes, so I feel like having this be an old Overwatch base would be really cool. 

Theory 3: NYC is where a new character is going to be from. I feel like this is more of me getting my hopes up, I just REALLY want a character from New York that is like a Tony Stark type. I think having a character that kind of fits into the Tony Stark architype would make it easy for the OW Devs. to make another cool Tank character, or maybe a support with really advanced cool armor. 

Anyways, after I make a post about McCree actually joining the Recalled Overwatch, I’m going to make a post about Gothenburg, Sweden, the map where Torbjorn’s workshop will be and the extension to Kings Row and what other maps might get extensions. 

TLDR: NYC might have been added to have to: have another map with an Underworld for Omnics which might mean we get more Omnic characters, there might be an old Overwatch base in NYC (image above), or a new character might be from NYC, hopefully someone that gives Tony Stark vibes, and hopefully a tank. 

Overwatch 2 Maps: Kings Row, London and other extended maps

Kings Row, London, one of players favorite hybrid maps and the location of the Uprising Event, is going to be getting an extension in Overwatch 2! I’m really excited because they also mentioned that other maps will be getting extension and while the Kings Row extension is cool and all, there are other maps that I think need it more, so this post is going to be about that.

Numbani, Africa: I think Numbani should be given an extension because out of all of the hybrid maps, I think it is one of the least fun to play, so adding an extra area would be really cool. I’m not sure where the extra section would be added on, maybe close to the second attackers spawn. 

Eichenwalde, Germany: Even though Eichenwalde is a really good map, and I feel like a lot of people like it, I think showing us more of the castle would be really cool. Currently, the payload goes down the yellow path, and I think that the payload should also be able to go down the the pink path. 

Dorado, Mexico: I like Dorado a lot and think that it should be extended because it is one of the best looking maps, in my opinion. So, I think that adding another area would be cool.  Currently, the payload goes down the yellow path, and I think that the payload should also be able to go down the the pink path.

I also think that NYC and Gothenburg will be around the same sizes as current maps that get extensions, based off of how large they look from what we saw during Blizzconline.  

Anyways, I think that the next post I’m going to make is going to be about Sojourn and her relationships with the old guard of Overwatch. 

TLDR: I really like the Kings Row map extensions and I think that some other escort/hybrid maps should get extensions like Numbani, Eichenwalde, and Dorado. I also think that NYC and Gothenburg will be bigger compared to some current maps based off of what we saw in Blizzconline.
