Blizzard Entertainment has launched a new update for Overwatch. The update brings in a new map and a lot of changes to the heroes. The game now rebalances Ana, Reinhardt, Widowmaker and Brigitte.
A new map called Busan, which is a Control map themed around D.Va was also added in the game via the update. Set in South Korea, Busan covers three distinct areas that players vie for control of: MEKA Base, Downtown and Sanctuary.
Sanctuary is temple surrounded b autumn trees and gardens, while Downtown has players battling across a karaoke bar and a train station. Finally the MEKA Base is the home base of the defense force to which D.Va belongs.
