New Antarctica Peninsula Control Map

Control will get its first map in the form of frosty Antarctica. As seen in Mei’s cinematic, the Antarctica Peninsula station is a lore-rich tundra with several stories yet to be told.

Loverwatch is a non-canon text-based dating sim where players can choose between two potential dating paths: Mercy or Genji.

Unlocking the secret ending will net players a themed POTG Highlight.
