'Overwatch' is getting a gorgeous new map set in the German countryside

Good news, "Overwatch" players: Blizzard just announced the first brand-new map coming to the game since its launch back in May.
This new map, called "Eichenwalde," is located in Germany amongst beautiful castles, a quaint town, and lush greenery. And, like all content updates to "Overwatch," it will be totally free.
The announcement came courtesy of Blizzard Entertainment's presentation at Gamescom, a massive annual video game show in Cologne, Germany — a fitting time and place for this decidedly Germanic locale.
