Overwatch's New Oasis Map Features Palm Trees, Killer Cars
Along with the recent overhaul of Symmetra, Blizzard is now testing out Overwatch's newest map, Oasis, on the PC version's Public Test Realm.
The map features a number of jump pads strewn about, which is a new addition for Overwatch. The map also has a number of cars driving by, which will actually kill players who wander too far from the objective.
You can watch fansite Overwatch Central give a quick rundown of the map in the video below. If you have a PC that can run the game and own it on PC, you can download the Public Test Realm now and try it for yourself.
Our Take
I love how wacky this map looks like it will be, but I wonder how often car-related incidents will be in Competitive Play matches. Either way, the map looks like a blast.
