'Overwatch' players find a 'Dark Souls' Easter egg hiding in new map
The latest Overwatch map Eichenwalde is available to try on the public test realm and players are exploring every nook and cranny of it, including a spot in the castle with an unmistakeable Dark Souls Easter egg.
To find it, go through the castle's open passageway to the right of the big wooden doors and walk forward past the first staircase. Continue up the stone staircase, turn left and you'll be looking at a Dark Souls bonfire.
Eichenwalde is the perfect map to have a Dark Souls Easter egg like this, considering the castle is reminiscent of the run-down, Medieval architecture common to the Souls series. Take away the health pack and the room looks like it could be a part of Anor Londo or Drangleic Castle.

In Dark Souls, these bonfires are usually found in safe rooms and act as a save point, restoring players' health. It's pretty appropriate to find a health pack right next to it.
If you're playing on the new map before it goes live to all players, keep your eyes peeled for more secrets and Easter eggs -- you may just uncover something even cooler, like a hint about the mysterious character Sombra.
The map will likely be able available to all players a week after it went live on the PTR, and you can start exploring to your heart's content.
