While many features have been discussed, it remains to be seen when they finally come out!
A new survey states that Overwatch 2 could be getting new map features soon. Some of the new map features that could be incorporated into the game soon are destructible environments, weather effects and collectible bluffs.
Once in a while, Overwatch 2 carries out surveys to know what players want, how recently introduced content has been received and get ideas that could be implemented in the future. The subject of a particular survey could be very different from another. Recently, through a survey, skin ideas were discussed and cosmetics modeled on Japanese folklore, steampunk and other themes were explored.

While these ideas are interesting, they have received a variety of reactions from fans. Many fans are of the opinion that collaboration maps should not become permanent fixtures in the game as they could affect immersion adversely. Destructible environments also happen to be an important feature in Marvel Rivals, which is scheduled to release on December 6.
