Antarctic Peninsula is a Control map in Overwatch 2, and it was Released on 7 February 2023, making it the 41st map added to the game.

Description

Control gets its first new map in Overwatch 2 in the form of frosty Antarctica! We have already visited the main facility of Ecopoint: Antarctica, as seen in Mei's "Rise and Shine" cinematic, but the Antarctic 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. With tons of flank routes and some offering a high-ground advantage over high-traffic areas and objectives, we can’t wait to see how the meta unfolds for this chilly battleground!

At some time after, an unknown disturbance from the stars that brings aliens with tentacles crash with a call. There, along with a surviving Overwatch agents, they can either answer the call or get their items from the facility to escape.
