The Overwatch 2 community has been calling for changes to the map rotation so that classic maps would appear more frequently. One of these frustrated community members is Redditor spicedpumpkins, who questions why Blizzard doesn't provide more opportunities for players to enjoy maps like King's Row and Eichenwald. They griped about the frequency with which Overwatch 2 maps appear, citing Colosseum as a favorite they'd like to see more often. They also praise King's Row for its simple and elegant design, arguing the map isn't "as long or fatiguing" as the series' newer offerings.
Overwatch 2 Players Want to See Classic Maps More Often
The user's suggestion was received positively by the community, with many commenters sharing similar sentiments regarding the map rotation. One commenter noted that they see King's Row “maybe once a week,” while Samoa, one of the maps released with Overwatch 2 Season 7, appears daily. Another commenter expressed great frustration at the constant appearances of Suravasa and New Junk City, two maps added with the launch of the shooter's sixth season. Commenters noted that they would rather vote for the maps they want to play and wait longer than be forced to play maps they dislike.
While players ask for changes to the current map rotation to show more love to old favorites, Overwatch 2 continues to add new playable locations. The latest came with the release of Season 12, adding the clash map Throne of Anubis—the game's third location set in Egypt. Although not yet confirmed, Overwatch 2 may be considering map changes such as the addition of weather effects and destructible environments, which could potentially renew the experience for players.
