THE FLOOR IS LAVA (and other cool stuff) Coming to Overwatch Workshop in PTR

Blizzard just announced a bunch of cool new features that are being rolled out on the Public Test Realm for Overwatch, including a nifty little option allowing players to mod the floors to cause fire damage. Blizzard calls it "Molten Floor" mode, but come on, it's THE FLOOR IS LAVA, and I love it.

Welcome to the Overwatch Workshop. I think we're in for a treat:

Create games in ways previously unimaginable with the Workshop! The Workshop is a simplified game scripting system that expands the customization features available in the Game Browser. Within the Workshop, you'll create a Script to add Rules and unique play Conditions on top of the established Overwatch game modes you already know and love. Rules can do many things, like change how a hero's movement and abilities work, modify how players are damaged or healed, or even display text under certain circumstances.

There's a whole bunch of nifty new features:

  • Create your own scripts for customized game modes in Overwatch
  • Share/link out to your own game mode without navigating through menus in game
  • Debug issues with their scripts using the Workshop Inspector
  • Workshop will be available on Console and PC

The new Workshop is available now in the Public Test Realm, and can be accessed by clicking Play > Game Browser > Create Settings > Workshop.

Here's a link to the blog post with all the details! And it wouldn't be an Overwatch update without a video from Jeff Kaplan, you now, from the Overwatch team:
