Trivia

• The Overwatch Artist Arnold Tsang reveals that Lijiang Tower (漓江塔) in Overwatch is inspired by the night of Chongqing, China. Two other real-world places might be association too. The one Li-jiang (丽江) is a city in Yunnan province. It has the same pronunciation as game's but their Chinese letters are different. Another one Li-Jiang River as well as Li River (漓江) is located in China's Guangxi province, but it is pure natural landscape unlike the metropolitan in the game.
  • Chinese Versions of Overwatch indicate the latter is more possible..
• A spacesuit with the name "Hongyu Wu" appears on the map, with the subtitle "heroes never die." This is a tribute to the individual of the same name, who was killed while pursuing a motorbike thief.
