When the Overwatch development team says certain content will be released “early 2017” they weren’t joking. Just 3 days into the New Year they have released the new control map, Oasis, to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Oasis is a new control map set in a very advanced city in the Arabian desert. Researchers and academics from around the region came together to found a city dedicated to scientific progress without restraints—a monument to human ingenuity and invention. The city and its inhabitants are governed by the Ministries, a collection of brilliant minds who possess many secrets that have attracted the interest of powerful organizations from around the world.

The biggest feature of this map will be the fact that teams will need to dodge vehicles and also utilize jumping pads to capture and defend 3 different control points.

I for one am looking forward to the Play of the Games where Torb’s turret kills off a team while he’s off getting run over by a car.
