Overwatch Battle Royale is basically one of the new Workshop game modes
Not only did Blizzard surprise us with the Overwatch Workshop yesterday, enabling players to make their own game modes and character designs, but it also added some templates to inspire said players. One of those is basically a battle royale mode.
It's called Fire Dome, and it adds a shrinking dome over the capture point on certain maps. If you're outside the dome, you take damage - just like a battle royale. That's the only major change, which means there are still a few kinks and imbalances. For one, if you die when the dome has shrunk beyond a certain size, it's impossible to get back inside it from the spawn point without dying, as you can see in this clip from Master Ian Gamer.
Making the mode free-for-all and scattering everyone's spawn points are two obvious changes that a Workshop user could make to build a better battle royale from Blizzard's template. Weapon pickups might also be possible, but if we're honest, map size is probably going to be the big limitation.
