With one Egypt map already on the docket, an additional arena may not be such a bad thing. One fan didn’t think so and took to making an Overwatch Cairo map of his own. The area is so well done, in fact, that it looks like it actually belongs in the game.

Joshua Llorente is the mastermind behind the latest fan-made beauty, which he created from scratch. Using the Unreal Engine by Epic, Llorente took to designing all of the assets and textures for the Overwatch Cairo map himself. He stresses that no downloaded content was used in the two months he spent designing it. Take the tour for yourself in the video below:

Upon closer inspection, the Overwatch Cairo map features plenty of alleys and paths for sneaky guerilla-style warfare. Llorente’s creation has been met with high praise, noting that the map reflects the “beautiful mixture of Islamic and ancient Egyptian architecture with modern touches here and there” from someone who actually resides in Egypt. Meanwhile, on YouTube and Reddit, fans have been wanting to know why he’s not at Blizzard. Llorente replies simply:

I still need to learn a lot. I think I’ll gather first some experience here in our local game dev industry. And maybe in the future I’ll try to apply there.”

Right now it seems Llorente is focusing on finishing his college thesis and isn’t quite ready to break into games completely. One thing is for certain, Joshua has a bright future ahead of him in game design. With his Overwatch Cairo map and Favela map, he has certainly proven he is up to the challenge of creating quality arenas.
