If you’ve been wondering what Valve’s been working on as their next game after Counter-Strike 2, the answer may be at hand. Details and screenshots for Deadlock, a third-person hero shooter with MOBA elements, have seemingly leaked out of a recent closed playtest, revealing a blend of Overwatch, Dota 2 and Valve’s own Team Fortress 2.
Overwatch 2 Hanaoka Map Has a Hidden Room

While many Overwatch 2 fans are still getting to grips with the new map introduced this season, one player has come across a hidden room found near one of the spawn locations while exploring the new Hanaoka map. Season 10 has brought a significant amount of content to Overwatch 2, including the new damage hero, Venture, the limited-time Mirrorwatch event, as well as a wealth of new skins. Season 10 also brought in a trial version of the upcoming Clash mode for players to try out before it's officially added to the game later on.
Hanaoka is a new map located in Japan, and is currently the only map available for the Clash game mode in Overwatch 2. The map itself is hugely reminiscent of the map Hanamura, which was a fan-favorite location back in the original Overwatch before the Assault game mode was removed from standard mode rotations in the sequel. The reasons behind the similarities between these two maps likely extend beyond them both simply being located in the same region of Japan too, as the new Clash mode is considered to be something of a heavily-altered revival of the original Assault mode. With this in mind, it seems likely that Hanaoka was designed to be something of an evolved version of Hanamura, tweaked to better fit Overwatch 2's new mode and gameplay changes.
Future Clash maps might similarly resemble some of the other popular Overwatch 2 Assault maps from back in the day, though Hanaoka — as well as the Clash mode itself — has been largely well-received by the game's community. Several weeks after the release of this new map, however, one fan has actually discovered a neat secret room hidden in one of Hanaoka's spawn locations. The player who made this discovery goes by Fabulous_Guitar4350 on Reddit, where they shared a clip that shows off what the room looks like and how to enter it. Playing as Tracer, they demonstrate how players can simply walk straight through a solid wall to enter.
This sort of secret room might seem like it should be stocked with ammo and power-ups since it seems so similar to the type of secret gamers might find in the classic DOOM games, but unfortunately, the room itself doesn't feature anything interesting besides a single chair. The chair at least suggests that this room is almost certainly an Easter egg rather than just an error in map geometry, but whatever the case, there are very few instances of invisible wall Easter eggs throughout the rest of Overwatch 2.
Unfortunately, there's not yet a clear date in sight for the official introduction of the Clash game mode into Overwatch 2. Season 10 introduced the mode for a limited time only for experimental purposes, but it seems likely that its permanent addition to the game will come with the launch of a

Overwatch 2 Fans Are Still Waiting For a Mauga Skin That Was Teased Five Years Ago
Though he has only recently joined the fight in Overwatch 2, Mauga is a hero that fans had been aware of for years prior to his appearance as a playable character, and some of his early concepts still have the potential to appear in the game as skins for the Samoan tank hero. Though Mauga still hasn't got all that many cosmetics available to him in Overwatch 2 due to his relatively recent addition to the game, many fans feel this is all the more reason Blizzard should consider giving him some new outfits based on the character's popular early concepts.
