New Overwatch 2 map to feature a fishing minigame and adorable penguins: Release date, how to play, and more
Overwatch 2 Season 3 will go live in a few days, bringing exciting in-game content and new features to everyone's plate. Besides important changes to heroes, the ranked experience, and the monetization system, the third season is also set to introduce a new Control map with exclusive interactions.
Overwatch 2 players can now catch (or shoot) fish and meet adorable penguins on the new Antarctic Peninsula map. According to the official tweet, Antarctic Peninsula will feature small fish holes on the ground that players can interact with. This is definitely a unique, light-hearted feature to have in a competitive hero shooter.
Overwatch 2's first "King of the Hill" map is set to feature bullet-dodging penguins and grounded fishing holes, which players can shoot at to enjoy entertaining interactions. Players will also leave impressions as they move around on the crystal-clear snow.
The aforementioned interactive elements will be spread across the Antarctic Peninsula map. In addition, players will encounter lore-based abandoned structures, icy geographical features, and unrestricted snowfall, adding to the wonderful experience in the game.
Antarctic Peninsula is related to the story of Mei, a popular Damage Overwatch Hero, who once carried out multiple climatic experiments with her colleagues in the region. While exploring the map, players may discover new, mysterious elements that add to Mei's lore, as showcased in her introductory cinematic - Rise and Shine.
Antarctic Peninsula will be released on February 7, 2023, with Overwatch 2 Season 3's arrival.
The developers will upload Season 3's official trailer on February 6, 2023, which will reveal additional details regarding the new map and Battle Pass before the season drops.
