- Warning sign

Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. A group of archaeologists have begun an excavation and preservation project among the ruins of the city. The research team started with the uppermost levels of the temple, finding statues of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. While preparing for excavation of the lower chambers, early imaging revealed a hidden chamber.

The organization carrying out the excavations is also carrying out operations in Ilios and Thailand.

Gameplay
The map's environment range from high vistas to twisting passageways and deep caverns. A dilapidated bridge stretches across the map, and the ground underneath it can crumble away to reveal a lethal pit. Hopping on a green jump pad will boost a hero up to Petra’s higher levels and unlock new strategic possibilities.
