Blizzard revealed the map with the hilarious animated trailer featuring Junkrat and Roadhog insanely planning their revenge.



The apocalypse hit Overwatch's Australia after the Omnic Crisis. The people were displaced when the lands were given to the Omnics in the peace treaty. In anger, the people formed the Australian Liberation Front, who waged war against the Omnics for their home. In these battles the ALF sabotaged the Omnic's precious omnium fusion core, causing an explosion that destroyed the facility and irradiated the region.

The lands were a desert wasteland, uninhabitable for most but the Junkers, an insane society of like-minded scavengers including the Junkrat and Roadhog.




Junkertown is a new Escort map where players must escort a payload of loot and explosives towards the Queen's throne room so that Junkrat and Roadhog can get payback for their banishment.

The map includes Junkrat and Roadhog's iconic motorcycle, Junkrat's workshop, an odd takeout shop, a tattoo parlour, a music venue, makeshift mechs equipped with saws and guns, spinning platforms, dead omnics and the Queen's throne. The map paints a picture of the savage, yet cultured lifestyle of the Junkers, whilst also providing unique locations for Overwatch players to battle over.
