Blizzard World Now Available On Overwatch PTR

It was announced earlier this month at BlizzCon and no it is finally here.

Overwatch’s update is now playable on the PTR, which is highlighted by the theme park hybrid map ‘Blizzard World’.

“An amusement park celebrating the universes of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo, Blizzard World is a brand-new hybrid Assault/Escort map,” Blizzard said in their official patch notes.

“Charge the gates of Stormwind, sneak through the Nexus Experience, and guide the payload through areas filled with high ground, flanking routes, and environmental hazards. Grab some Blizzard-inspired snacks at the concession stand along the way!”

Here is the breakdown:
