New Antarctica Peninsula Control Map
Control will get its first map in the form of frosty Antarctica. As seen in Mei’s cinematic, the Antarctica Peninsula station is a lore-rich tundra with several stories yet to be told. This snow-themed Control map features some unique sights, including an ice-breaker ship and an underground drilling station.
The New Antarctica Control Map offers tons of flanking routes and high-ground advantages over objective points which will surely leave players wondering how the meta will unfold.
