The big news out of today's Overwatch 2 PvP livestream is that competitions will be shrunk from six players per side to five, with teams role-locked to two support, two DPS, and one tank. It's a big change, and one that sparked a lot of conversation, but it wasn't the only thing that Blizzard had to show off. We also got a look at some of the new PvP maps on the way, including New York, Toronto, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, and Monte Carlo, and a new look for Torbjorn.
Rio's story mission has already been seen, but now we can check out Rio's Escort map:

New York City is a hybrid PvP map:

The NYC map also contains a couple of Easter eggs dedicated to former game director Jeff Kaplan. Did you catch them? With a little help from Polygon, here's a hint.
Rome is designed for the new Push mode, a twist on payload modes that sees two teams fighting to control a robot that pushes barriers back and forth across a map. The mode has undergone a number of changes since it was introduced at BlizzCon in 2019.

Toronto was also included, but I'm pretty sure we've already seen this one already. Still, as a good Canadian boy I am obligated to include it:

The highlight of the map showcase was the reveal of the new Monte Carlo map, a gorgeously illuminated Escort map featuring flying yachts, autopilot cars, and opulence as far as the eye can see.

Blizzard also revealed an updated Overwatch 2 look for Torbjorn, who's "more battle-hardened" for the new game. New changes to the UI and HUD for some heroes, including Mercy and Zenyatta, are also in the works.
