Introducing Lucio and Two New Maps for Overwatch

Lucio, the new musically-inclined guy in Overwatch gets his own introduction video and ability preview. Pretty much a support with his skills functioning somewhat like a bard by providing buffs and shields to teammates, Lucio can be an important asset in team fights by giving teammates that extra edge to overpower their enemies. More about his skills can be found here.

Next up, we have two new maps to be revealed at Gamescom 2015, Volskaya Industries and Numbani.

Here's what Blizzard has to say about these maps:

Volskaya Industries is a Point Capture map located near St. Petersburg, Russia—a manufacturing center responsible for producing massive, human-piloted mechs which help protect the local population. Following a rise in omnic hostilities, attacking and defending teams must now battle for control of this facility and its powerful Svyatogor mobile suits.

Numbani is a Point Capture/Payload hybrid map set in a utopian city on the edge of the African savanna. Here, one team must escort Doomfist’s gauntlet as it travels to the Numbani Heritage Museum, while the opposing team fights to stop this infamous weapon from reaching its final destination.

With the beta for Overwatch probably coming soon, more content is good news. Stay tuned for important announcements of Overwatch during Gamescom 2015.
