BlizzCon brings an in-game Overwatch World Cup Viewer, but no new maps

Blizzard’s spent the past week detailing things you shouldn’t expect at BlizzCon 2018, and now that includes new Overwatch maps. The latest developer update confirms there won’t be any map announcements at the show. But there is plenty on the horizon. In the immediate future, that means an in-game Overwatch World Cup Viewer, as well as we’ll see buffs for heroes including Roadhogg and Mercy. “In the past we’ve announced Oasis and we’ve announced Blizzard World,” Jeff Kaplan says. “Both were announced at BlizzCon. To be honest, we felt like they got a little bit lost in the shuffle, both during the timing of announcing at BlizzCon and also the time at which we released them. They didn’t have as big of an impact as we really wanted. We feel like a new map is something very, very special.” New map content is in the works, and Kaplan says other Overwatch announcements will be at the show. But new stages now join a Diablo 4 announcement among the things you shouldn’t expect to see during BlizzCon.
