A new map, Blizzard World, has been added to the Overwatch PTR on November 20th.

Blizzard World is a Hybrid (Assault/Escort) map that was revealed on November 4th at BlizzCon and is an amusement park that features elements from World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone.

The attacking team has to start from the first Hearthstone Inn, and go past the gates of Stormwind to capture the point; later they will escort the payload past the Siege Tank and Nexus to the inside of the cathedral, where the throne of the Black King is. Since the features of the land for each themed area changes greatly on the route of the payload, the defending team will have to play using flexible strategies to stop the opponent team from reaching the point.

Other than that, the patch on PTR included small bug fixes for the new hero, Moira. Further details on the PTR patch notes for November 20th can be read below.
