Ecopoint: Antarctica is an Arena map in Overwatch.
Background
Maintained by Overwatch, the ecopoint served as a monitoring station for the study of Earth's changing climate.
Disaster struck the station when it was hit by a polar storm,[1] damaging the station's solar array.[2] Cut off from the outside world, the scientists were left stranded in the damaged facility. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis in a last-ditch effort to survive until a rescue attempt could be made.
Rescue came years later, but Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou was the only survivor. By this point, Overwatch was no more, and the eco-watchpoints had ceased to operate.[1]
Layout
Like all elimination maps, Ecopoint: Antarctica contains no health packs. Other maps with no health packs include Necropolis, Black Forest and Castillo. The map is modular, with six core habitat modules. These are as follows:
- Crew Quarters
- Storage
- Cryo lab
- Engineering
- Battery
- Climatology (monitoring station)
Staff
The base's staff consisted of the following:
- Adams (researcher)
- Arrhenius (climatology)
- MacReady (engineering)
- Opara (cryonics)
- Torres (cryonics)
- Mei-Ling Zhou (climatology)
Trivia
- The map was revealed during BlizzCon 2016.[3]
- There is a door in the scientist's private quarters with a note on it saying ''Happy Birthday to Mei'' Which could suggest that Mei woke up before and went back into cryostasis before she was eventually found.
