Colosseo is a Push map in Overwatch 2. It was released on 26 April 2022, making it the 36th map added to the game.
Background
The Colosseo hosts robotic gladiatorial combat (via robots) and the Circuit Maximus.[1]
Trivia
- During the map's gameplay, the sounds of a Colosseum match can be heard. This is possibly the match between Maximus and Zephyrus.
Cultural References
- The map's name is Italian for the real-world Colosseum.
- Similarly, the Galleria Imperiale spawn room seems to be based on the real-life Pantheon. The Domus Aurea hotel near the opposite spawn room is most likely named after the real-life Domus Aurea.
Development
- The map was initially named "Rome" when it was first announced at BlizzConline. By March, 2022, it had been changed to "Colosseo." The map first became playable in the Overwatch 2 beta.[2]
- The map will be reworked for Season 11.[3]
