A new map is available today in Overwatch for some players. Blizzard today released the map Horizon Lunar Console on the game’s public test realm for PC players of the game.
An Assault map set in a scientific moonbase, Horizon Lunary Colony has some incredible views of Earth. You can see an overview video for the map below. Winston is handling the narration.
Built as a first step towards humanity’s renewed exploration of space, the colony’s goal was to examine the effects of prolonged extraterrestrial habitation—on human and ape alike. The scientists’ research proved incredibly promising…until, suddenly, all contact and communications with the base were lost.
Blizzard has also released an official description for Horizon Lunar Colony, which explains the origins of the space base and touches a little on what went wrong there.
