The new map that made its grand debut at BlizzCon this year that brings many of the popular Blizzard franchises together is now live in the Overwatch Public Test Realm (PTR). The map itself made a huge splash because of its crafty StarCraft, Diablo, and Warcraft nods!

"An amusement park celebrating the universes of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo, Blizzard World is a brand-new hybrid Assault/Escort map," Blizzard said in the patch notes. "Charge the gates of Stormwind, sneak through the Nexus Experience, and guide the payload through areas filled with high ground, flanking routes, and environmental hazards. Grab some Blizzard-inspired snacks at the concession stand along the way!"

The latest map isn't the only update to hit PTR, some other little bug fixes and AI tweaks were also made to the game. Check below for the full official patch notes:
