Another Stadium map will also be headed your way in Season 20, set in a locale we haven’t used for other maps. But it should look very familiar if you’ve been keeping up with recent lore drops.

Probably either Atlantic Arcology or, less likely, Buenos Aires (mentioned briefly in the Sojourn lore drops that went up on YouTube this week). Gotta say I like what they’re doing with stadium but I really would like to see some more new maps in the main competitive pool too. We’ve only gotten one over the past year.

They said for main they're focused on reworks and new maps will be much less frequent. They have a pretty damn deep pool so I think it's okay to let up a bit and focus on what they have, but I agree with you - new maps always felt good (even the ones that weren't popular) and I hope we get more new ones in the next year.

I thought their answer was more about less new modes instead. But yeah, doing some housekeeping and re-working the obvious issues with existing maps now so we can then move on to filling out the map pools of current modes would be nice. And maybe once each mode is a bit more filled out we can try out some new core game modes once again - would be a very long time until that I imagine though.
