Malevento is available on the Public Test Server.
Overwatch has a brand new map called Malevento, and it's live now on the Public Test Server.
Earlier today on August 27, Activision Blizzard announced in a press release that a new map is now live for Overwatch's Public Test Server on PC. This map is called Malevento and it's a free deathmatch map for anyone coming from Italy only.
This is the first news we've had of the original Overwatch in a while, despite Blizzard continuing to support the original game. It's also been quite some time since we last saw or heard of Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the original Blizzard hero shooter.
However, news of the sequel emerged in the weeks following late May 2021, when Blizzard first announced that they would reduce the number of players in Overwatch 2's PvP games from six to five per faction. Shortly after that, it was announced that Overwatch 2's maps would include dynamic weather loops, before the game's technical director commented that Overwatch 2 on Nintendo Switch would include "some compromises". More recently, there has been an alleged rumor that Overwatch 2 may not be out until at least 2023.
