TBh the current maps seem like downgrades compared to the old concepts , the Berlin was turned into Eichenwalde (berlin was Eichenwalde but a dark, green sky run down city)
and Hanamura was more of a Japanese City
No, Hanamura always was meant to have a temple aspect - it was literally called Kyoto Temple
And Berlin could still be released as it’s own map tbh, since that was meant to be a 2CP map
Berlin definitely wasn’t Eichenwalde. It looks completely different.
Also we’ll maybe get India with OW2 because it can be related to Symmetra’s Short Story.

Berlin looks like an abandoned city. Maybe Stuttgart is the new capital based on its design? (Or i dont know which city we see from Eichenwalde)
I want The Iris and Galapagos as OW2 maps
That’s not exactly true, blizz stated that Eichenwalde was originally a forest map. They went from “we are gonna do a forest instead of Berlin for a german map due to lore and Bastion cinematic, also forest is more original than a city which we have plenty of lined up” to “we are gonna do a castle instead of a forest map”
Eichenwalde is actually a village inside the Black Forest. I hope the eigine will be good enough for forest, jungle and underwater maps. Its impressive that they were able to make a winter Black Forest map.

The temple is always there but I mean it was more of an open city with a temple
I’m always eyeing that India map as a symm main
I’m really curious about the iris map, and if it’s linked to the same iris with the omnics.
