Overwatch is taking players to Junkertown for its next map

Blizzard Entertainment announced a new map for Overwatch during its Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany today. Junkertown, the Australian home of the bomb-loving character Junkrat and his oversized bodyguard Roadhog, will be playable at the show.

Junkertown will be an escort map, meaning the attacking team has to push a payload to its destination while the defending team tries to stop them.
