It's Valentine's Day in a few weeks' time, so naturally Overwatch is getting a map based on the City of Love itself, Paris, Blizzard Entertainment has announced.

The new Assault map can actually be taken for a spin now for PC players via the game's Playable Test Realm, although as far as a general release goes, Blizzard says it's coming 'soon.' It'll be available in quick play and competitive mode matches.

In terms of layout, Blizzard has revealed players can expect 'narrow streets and corridors,' while highlights include the Seine river, Cabaret Luna, and Maison Marat among other attractions. 

It's been a while since Overwatch's last map was released, which arrived back in September in the shape of Busan. One of the biggest things to come out of the game recently is confirmation of a second LGBTQ character, Soldier 76.

Overwatch is currently running its Year of the Pig event, which wraps on February 18.
