Overwatch Welcomes You to Junkertown

I’ll just… leave this here.

Now in Overwatch, everything’s coming up Milhouse Roadhog. Or not. Really more Junkrat than anything. Roadhog got nerfed to Hell and back, while Junkrat got an extra mine and a faster RIPtire.

Nonetheless, Overwatch is getting a new Escort map: Junkertown. And boy, does it have a lot going for it. Not only is it filled with irregular terrain and what looks to be a windy path, it might have a few unique environmental quirks too. And, it certainly introduces the Queen of Junkertown with a bit of flair. You know, despite the fact that she’s basically an announcer-level entity as far as the game is concerned. Oh, and a new in engine cinematic:

Junkertown isn’t officially in Overwatch yet, though. As a matter of fact, no one knows when it’ll be in, other than “soon”. But once it is, it’ll be another payload for me to die on blissfully.
