The new Overwatch map announced at BlizzCon, Blizzard World, is now available in the game for some. Blizzard today launched a new patch for the game`s PC-only Public Test Realm that adds the new map along with other bug fixes and changes.Blizzard World is a map that takes the form of an amusement park for Blizzard games such as Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo. It`s a new, hybrid-type map that blends the Escort and Assault game types. `Charge the gates of Stormwind, sneak through the Nexus Experience, and guide the payload through areas filled with high ground, flanking routes, and environmental hazards,` reads a line from the patch notes. `Grab some Blizzard-inspired snacks at the concession stand along the way!`You can check out the overview video above to get a closer, more in-depth look at the new Blizzard World map.In addition to the new map, this new Overwatch PTR update makes a change to A.I. so that you can remove all bots at once from the Custom Game lobby. In terms of bug fixes, this patch fixes a problem where some sound effects would not play when looking through the options menu with a controller. It also fixes a problem with the new character Moira (who is now available for everyone) that caused her knees to come through knee guards while crouching with the Oasis skin.
