Well, that tease on Monday night and all the speculation has led to this:
… and while I suspected it was going to be a map rather than than a cinematic or a hero reveal, it was nice to dream for a moment.
Oh hey, and here’s Jeff with the developer update:
Core takeaway is this: it’s a new assault map, with the quirk that there will be a low-gravity area that you can fool around in. While it’s more out of the way, it also heralds the low-gravity options being added to the custom game tools so you can apply it to any map.
Storyline wise, it seems like there isn’t as much of a retcon involved here as I originally surmised; the video speaks for itself in that respect, but at the end of the day, Winston’s origin story stands unaltered.
Anyhow, the map is on the PTR right now, and we’ll likely see it added to the main game within a couple of weeks. Get yourselves to the moon, heroes.
