Is the background, in the marammat symmetra challenge starting screen, a hint to a new map, or is it ayuthaia (sorry spelling)?

It’s a new map, not Ayutthaya!
Fingers crossed it’ll be an OW2 map alongside Hammond’s underwater one!
Wait there’s a Hammond underwater map planned? Source?
I wasn’t here for the Hammond underwater screen so idk if it was used in highlight intros but
Go to hero gallery > highlight intro any character (Moira is best) and you can see that this is a fully rendered room and not just a painted background

A lot of people, myself included, think the Symm short story location is the same one as where Zenyatta is in the OW2 trailer.
During the Anniversary 2020 event, Blizzard showed off a bunch of skins by setting them in appropriate maps.
The Submarine Wrecking Ball one takes place underwater with a background no one recognizes from another map. Since all the other skins were on other maps, it is speculated that this is a teaser for a future map.

And there are datamined sound files for an Underwater map 
What about the little snippet of music? I don’t remember hearing that anywhere else in OW.
Maybe is Utopaea/the map shown in the gameplay trailer of OW2, looks pretty similar.
If it is that map it might mean we get a Genji/Zen/Symm meeting in the PvE story?

Hello,
“Blame The Controller” covered the “Underwater map” topic on a video on YouTube.
He found out that all the assets used on this image were part of preexisting elements on other maps. This picture was probably created to promote the Hammond skin, and probably not related to an underwater map.
Don’t hesitate to have a look, the video is interesting.
Cheers !
