Overwatch screenshot of the new Malevento deathmatch map

[Update]: After an extended round of testing, Malevento has now been unleashed onto the live servers!

In an announcement that has sadly become far too rare, Blizzard has just unveiled brand new content for Overwatch! The content in question is a new deathmatch map called Malevento, and as you can see in the brief teaser over at Twitter, it's once again going to be a rather beautiful one!

The good news doesn't end there, however, as Malevento is currently playable on the PTR. If you would like to join in on the fun, as well as help the Overwatch team with some much needed feedback, simply change your PC client's region to PTR and you'll be ready to go after a brief download.

It's also worth mentioning that more story-focused content will be coming in the near future as well, though the details are currently few and far between. What I can tell you is that this new storyline will not only revolve around McCree, but that it will canonically change his name in order to distance the character and Overwatch as a whole from the recent sexual harassment trouble at Blizzard.

Once the Malevento update becomes available on the live servers I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, have fun messing around with the PTR!

Up for some more?
