Three New Arena Maps And Emotes Coming To Overwatch

By Keith MitchellMay 18, 2017

While we already know about the Overwatch anniversary event that’s taking during May 23 – June 12, Blizzard is now starting to tease what is in store. In a string of recent tweets, they’ve teased several new arena maps, which appear to be modified versions of existing maps. Perfect for some 1 v 1 or 3 v 3 matches.

Here's a sneak peek at three new ARENA MAPS coming soon to our Overwatch Anniversary celebration.

So new stages, but it also appears to be some new emotes as well. Dancing emotes, which will let your digital avatar get down during a game. These look pretty slick if you ask me.

I’m pretty sure that this isn’t the last we’ll see of whatever Blizzard has in store. But whatever it is, I can’t wait.

Overwatch is currently available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. But you already knew that, didn’t you?
