Ecopoint: Antarctica is an upcoming Arena map in Overwatch.
Background
Maintained by Overwatch, the ecopoint served as a monitoring station for the study of Earth's changing climate.
Disaster struck the station when it was hit by a polar storm. Cut off from the outside world, the scientists were left stranded in the damaged facility. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis in a last-ditch effort to survive until a rescue attempt could be made.
Rescue came years later, but Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou was the only survivor. By this point, Overwatch was no more, and the eco-watchpoints had ceased to operate.[1]
Trivia
- The map was revealed during BlizzCon 2016.[2]
- There is a door in the scientist's private quarters with a note on it saying ''Happy Birthday to [Mei]'' Which could suggest that Mei woke up before and went back into cryostasis before she was eventually found.
