Blizzard also described in detail more changes to the map specific Overwatch 2 New Junk City and Surravasa maps. The new Junk City will be redesigned at all checkpoints to make play more branched while maintaining chaotic shootouts that players expect. According to Blizzard, Spawn Rubacks will be slightly reduced by the new upper roads and overhangs to shorten the time to return to responding after responding. The entrance to the hammer is reduced to Thunderdome Poi Maps and the bomb area gets considerable overwork. The areas of the new Junkyard, refineries and New Junk City channels will also get their own reworking to support easier input and flow between sections.

Surravasa receives an improvement in their overall readability, which means that Overwatch 2 Players should be less confused and distracted when navigation on the map. For example, Blizzard will reduce the large blockers in the streets to open sights and add higher artistic elements and lighting to emphasize where players can want to go to the map. Structures near external friction will be simplified and the map will be streamlined by removing unused side roads and clutter. Like the new Junk City map, the Surravasy inputs and routes will be modified to support free -flowing movement and access to different areas, including brand new side roads.

Finally, Blizzard makes modifications of the game logic that will change the selection that the next point will be active in Flashpoint. After the middle point is captured, another checkpoint will be closer to the losing team that will lose fair benefits and at the same time to remove diagonal movements over the map. More details about these changes and updates in the middle of the season for Overwatch 2 Season 17 will be revealed later.
