Gameplay
Trivia
- The map's name is a possible double reference to Talon and Atlantis.
Development
The development of the map started on December 2022 in the Twitch Makes Overwatch live stream, where senior game director Aaron Keller, art director Dion Rogers, and community manager Andy Belford started creating the map following suggestions from the viewers. The "blockout", i.e. planning the play style and theme of the map using basic shapes, was finished over the span of few hours live on stream, after which the development continued internally, adding thematic lighting and other effects. The map was finally released for a limited time on Arcade on April 25, 2023 to be playable through May 8.[2]
