Overwatch Provides First Look At New “Petra” Deathmatch Map (VIDEO)
In the latest reveal trailer by Overwatch seen below, the team provides a first look at the latest map being added to the competitive shooter. Dubbed “Petra”, the arid landscape provides a deathmatch arena with hidden secrets and corners for prime picking. As the game approaches its second anniversary since its debut in 2016, this is a sure-fire way to get people back in the heat of combat. Plus, there’s going to be epic skins limited to the event that will take place to celebrate this momentous time.
Petra holds a few secrets within the confines of buildings – narrow pathways, caverns, crumbling bridges, jump pads and more. The longer a match lasts, the more perilous the map gets as bridges crumble making way for certain death. Here’s the official description for the new deathmatch arena:
A group of archaeologists have begun an excavation and preservation project among the ruins of Petra, a new Deathmatch map that puts all heroes on their own, facing off against one another until one hero scores enough eliminations to win the match.
Take in Petra’s majestic views, from high vistas to twisting passageways and deep caverns. Travel along deadly cliffs, but be careful to not fall off! A dilapidated bridge stretches across the map, and the ground underneath it can crumble away to reveal a lethal pit. Hopping on a green jump pad will boost you up to Petra’s higher levels and unlock new strategic possibilities for you.”
