Overwatch Devs Talk About Storm Rising, Teases New Havana Map

overwatch genji storm rising bannerIt’s been three years since Overwatch players first dived into the game and started battling each other in various battlefields. Occasionally though, Blizzard Entertainment would release limited time story-driven co-op missions to give players a break and a chance to work together towards a common goal and earn unique rewards in the process. First there was Uprising, followed by Retribution, and now we have Storm Rising which just went live earlier this week.

In Storm Rising, players work together to intercept and take down a Talon convoy making its way through the bustling streets of Havana. While the mission is active, players can earn loot boxes containing exclusive skins, emotes, highlight intros, and sprays.

“As thunderclouds gather, four Overwatch operatives pursue the devious financier Maximilien through the streets of Havana. A clever and reclusive omnic, Maximilien handles finances for the international terrorist organization Talon. Play the mission, complete the objective, and save the day!”

Blizzard also released a developer update video in time with the mission's launch where Game Director Jeff Kaplan reveals a number of juicy details about the mission and the part that Omnic Maximilien plays in both the Overwatch team and the Talon Organization’s history.

The devs have also rolled out the new Havana map on the PTR. You can check out the map teaser below along with the full dev update video, and the official Storm Rising trailer.
