Runasapi is a Push map in Overwatch 2. Released in Season 11, it is the game's 45th map overall.

Background

Runasapi

Runasapi is a hidden city located high in the Sacred Valley of the Peruvian Andes. It is filled with marketplaces and fresh produce. The city itself is located on a mountain cliff—accessible through a system of cable cars—while farmlands find themselves below by the river basin, surrounded by andenes (agricultural terraces).

Runasapi is apparently operated by the Paqarina Research Group. It is powered by solar energy, ensuring that all the needs of its people are fulfilled. It was protected by the Inti Warriors before their destruction.

Trivia

• Runasapi translates as "the root of the human race."
• Runasapi was first hinted as a map at BlizzCon 2023. It was later confirmed for inclusion in March, 2024.
• Many buildings find their namesakes in Incan mythology:
  • The watermill was named after the goddess of water, Mama Qucha.
  • Mother Earth and crucial figure in Peruvian culture, Pachamama, is honored through the Center for Agricultural Advancement.
  • Intitec Institute and the Inti Warriors are named after Inti, the sun god.
  • The Wiraqucha Investigation Society alludes to the Andean creator deity.
• The map seems to find its main inspiration in Peru's city of Qusqu, as well as Machu Picchu Pueblo and Ullantaytampu. Trapezoidal windows, slightly-inclined earthquake proof walls, and narrow aqueducts that run down roads are all common attributes of Incan cities.
  • Walls made of multiple-angled stones are used as the base of many buildings in Runasapi. This feature is an iconic visual of Qusqu architecture, the construction of buildings atop Incan stonework.
  • Toritos de Pucará (Pukara bulls) decorate the ceilings of many Runasapi households. It is Peruvian tradition to place a pair of these symbols of Andean identity on the rooftop for a safe and joyful life.
