Overwatch Rialto

Blackwatch may have begun its Retribution on April 10th but Overwatch players will finally get their hands on the Rialto map for PvP. At least, PC players will – in its latest update, Blizzard has confirmed that the Venice map is now playable on Public Test Realm servers.

Rialto is an Escort map and offers beautiful architecture, scenic backgrounds and much more. The map has been compared to King’s Row with its narrow alleyways but it’ll be worth waiting to see how it fairs in PvP. Those on Xbox One and PS4 will unfortunately have to wait until the map leaves the PTR and goes live on all platforms to try it.

Meanwhile, Overwatch Retribution is still live for all platforms. Along with a new lore-based PvE mission focused on Reaper, McCree, Genji and Moira, it brings several new cosmetics including new Legendary skins. The event will end on April 30th so make sure to grind everything out as quickly as possible.
