Overwatch 2 is heading to the southern tip of the world for Season 3. Blizzard recently announced that a new map will be coming to Overwatch 2 next season: The Antarctic Peninsula. Here's what you need to know about when this chilly new addition to the game arrives.

On Feb. 3, Blizzard tweeted to show off the new map, including some fun Easter eggs and surprises in store for players who explore the new map. For example, Antarctic Peninsula will feature a fishing minigame, Mei lore, and penguins (luckily, they cannot be killed).

According to tweets by Blizzard, the Antarctic Peninsula arrives alongside Season 3 on Feb. 7. The new map is the first Control map added to Overwatch 2 that is not a holdover from the previous game.

The new map is a Control style map, meaning it will feature several smaller maps with central contestable points in locations ranging from the abandoned research station to the frozen wreck of a massive icebreaker ship. In a group interview reported by Polygon, art director Dion Rogers shared some elements underscoring the map's unique design.

“We’ve got cool tunnels and the engine room — you can get a lot of direction from it, because you can see the bow of the ship and you can see where the captain’s chamber is. If you’re working together, you can call out a lot of very key areas where people are. It’s very clear to understand where that might be, especially if you understand the language of boats. We studied icebreakers pretty well to try to integrate this into the level.”

You'll be able to see more of the Antarctic Peninsula when the Season 3 trailer drops and when Season 3 releases this week.
