Blizzard announced last week that Overwatch would mark the Year of the Dog with a new Lunar New Year event beginning on February 8. Today OW boss Jeff Kaplan fired off a new developer update video laying out what's in store, beginning with a brand new map set in Thailand. 

The new map is divided into two halves: "One side of the map is ancient and shows a temple that's very very gorgeous and the other side is bright and beautiful and very modern," Kaplan explains in the video. More importantly, it's the first Overwatch map designed specifically for Capture the Flag, which will feature prominently during the Year of the Dog. A four-week CTF competitive season will run during the course of the event, with a special spray and player icon for the top 500 players.
