Overwatch's Newest Map and Cosmetics Revealed
By Zac Cameron ·
While Blizzard has revealed the newest map to arrive with the upcoming Anniversary event, a slew of new cosmetics have also been leaked online, giving fans a taste of what they can soon play for.
According to this Reddit post, a Taiwanese Overwatch fan has managed to get some pretty good pictures of the upcoming Anniversary event skins. While it is possible that the images are faked, the high quality of the pictures and that fact that we’ve seen a couple already from the Overwatch Twitter, points to the probability that these are real.
In addition to the leaked skins, Blizzard have released a video centred on the new Deathmatch map, Petra, which can be seen here.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the new map is the possible existence of destructible environments. It certainly seems as though the floor around the mega health pack can be taken out, which could make for some very interesting game play.
Finally, it would seem that much more than just the latest skins were leaked, with at least one YouTube user posting some footage of new emotes that will be dropping with the update.

The update is set to drop on May 22nd, and run until June 11th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Also teased is the return of many fan favourite arcade brawls, usually locked behind their seasonal events. The arrival of the latest event will also mean the chance to get your hands on the Pink Mercy will end very soon.
