Overwatch 2 Dev Hints That New Content Will Be Set In Poland

thegamer.com:

In the first Overwatch, slights changes to the maps were used to hint that a new Hero was on the way. When Doomfist was being teased, we saw Orisa units punched into the wall. After that, we could hear Junker Queen's voice in Junkertown long before she was added to the roster. And now, the newly re-released Numbani might be hinting at the next map or Hero.

In an interview with Polish news outlet Blizzplanet, art director Dion Rogers was asked about a tiny detail spotted in one of Numbani's spawn rooms. Ever since its Overwatch 2 debut, one of the airport's travel destinations is Gdańsk, a city in Poland. When asked if this detail has any significance, Rogers confirmed that this was done intentionally, hinting that this could be the next map coming to Overwatch 2.

"Every part of that game world is handcrafted," says Rogers, when asked about Gdańsk's inclusion in Numbani. "So whenever we write something [it's] used with intent."

Rogers continues, further suggesting that the next Overwatch map will be based on the Polish city. "On those screens we sometimes hint at things for the future. So we might put, I think, when we were developing Overwatch, at first, we had places like Ilios on there, and eventually we created Ilios."

This pretty much confirms that the devs are thinking about doing something with Poland, whatever that is. The game makes little to no reference to the country otherwise, so it stands to reason that this namedrop in Numbani will amount to something.

As for what kind of map it could be, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Push. Blizzard has previously stated that it wants to keep all game mode map pools equal, and right now.
