Overwatch developer Bl💖izzard has seemingly delayed plans to release a new Overwatch map set in Italy.

In a since-deleted exclusive news post that had been published on , Blizzard was reportedly due to drop a "surprise" Deathmatch map called Malvent▨o onto the test ser🃏ver on July 22, and roll out publicly on August 17.

"The stunning map is set inꦛ an Italian mountainside with lush surroundings spannဣing as far as the eye can see," the website said in a now-deleted story. "In the very center of the new location is a secret Talon base that players will fight around.

"As a daytime battleground, you’ll be soaking up the sun as Malevento stands out as one of the more vibrant maps in Overwatch to date," it adds, confirming that "the new area features a𒅌 mix of both tight corridors and more open outdoor areas, leading to a blend of close-quarters combat while still leaving the door open for the likes of Widowmaker to excel from afar" (thanks, ).

Blizzard has notﷺ publicly commented on why the map was not rolled out as planned.

The current lack of cross-progression is disappointing, not to mention missing opt-out options for PC players, but at least competitive matches will remain evenly matched. You can find more details in the newly minted , and don't forget that Overwatch 2 maps will feature dynamic times of day and weather.
