This was the first map I had the honor of being in charge of for Overwatch 2. I was handed a grey box blockout and worked together with amazing concept artist Al Crutchley to bring this map to life. This was revealed at Blizzconline 2020. Phil Wang also had a huge hand in working on this map and killed it in modeling the background buildings and also handling the Grand Central Station facade and interior. Helder Pinto helped with some street polish and vehicles along with Gaëtan Montaudouin. Fabien Christian on lighting. Lindsay Johnson worked with her team to create tons of props and did lots of set dressing as well. We had great art direction from Dion Rogers and Billy Petras as well. The whole Overwatch environment team always chime in with amazing feedback along the way and this would not have been possible without all their feedback. Its a group effort that allows us to reach the quality we do!
