Summary
- Overwatch 2 continues to add new maps and updates, with the introduction of new game modes like Flashpoint and Clash.

Blizzard has teased the introduction of new maps to Overwatch 2 along with changes for existing ones. When Overwatch 2 launched, it introduced the new Push game mode, complete with its own maps. Plenty more new maps have been added to the game since launch.
Just as Push featured its own maps, Overwatch 2's latest new game mode, the somewhat divisive Flashpoint, came with two maps of its own: New Junk City and Suravasa. As a live-service game, it's necessary for Overwatch 2 to add new content on a regular basis, which means that plenty more maps are in the pipeline for the hero shooter. And now Blizzard has given fans a better idea of what to expect from the game's future battlegrounds.
Overwatch 2 Makes Big Limited-Time Change to Quick Play
Overwatch 2's second Quick Play: Hacked experiment is live, but players will need to act fast if they want to get in on the chaos before it ends.
Blizzard confirmed that the new game mode Clash will get a limited-time trial at the start of Overwatch 2 Season 10, with players having the chance to play on the Hanaoka map. In Season 11, Overwatch 2 players can look forward to the introduction of Runasapi, a brand-new Push map set in Peru, with ties to Support hero Illari. Season 11 will also see a reworked Colosseo, so Push fans have a lot to look forward to come Season 11.
