Background

This article or section is a stub. You can help Overwatch Wiki by expanding it.

Gothenburg is a city in Sweden, and the hometown of Torbjörn and Brigitte. It is also the site of Torbjörn's workshop, where he is assisted by Bastion in researching and designing weapon systems.

Null Sector

Gothenburg is among the cities invaded by Null Sector.

After the attack on Toronto, Chief Engineer Torbjörn Lindholm was recruited to assist with understanding and removing the technology used to subjugate omnics. Upon arriving at the Ironclad Guild to meet Torbjörn, Brigitte and Reinhardt realized that a Titan had arrived in Gothenburg, and was attacking the city in an attempt to stop them.

Trivia

• At BlizzCon 2019, Gothenburg was shown to be an Assault map. However, Jeff Kaplan confirmed that the game mode would be retired from standard play, and that there would be no new Assault maps in Overwatch 2.
• Torbjörn's workshop can be found in the map. It was designed to scale with Torbjörn, meaning that to someone of average height, everything appears downsized.
• The old fortress seen across the river from the play area is very similar to a real-world fort, Skansen Kronan. The map also takes place in Lindholmen, likely a representation of the real-world Lindholmen Science Park.
