As spotted by and subsequently confirmed by Blizzard, a listing for a new Scholastic e-book has popped up on . Listed as a young adult novel written by critically acclaimed author Nicky Drayden, the "action-packed novel" – entitled The Hero of Numbani – focuses on Efi Oladele and will also feature "fan-favourite characters Orisa, Doomfi𒅌st, and Lúcio in an all-new, original story straight from the minds of the Overwatch game team".

The listin♔g als🤪o notes the book as "Book #1", intimating successive stories are also on their way.  

"In the technologically advanced African city of Numbani, in the not-so-distant future, humans live in harmony with huma♏noid robots known as omnics," . "But when a terrorist tries to shatter that unity, a hero named Efi Oladele rises!

"Efi has been making robots since she was little - machines to better her comm𒁃unity and improve people's lives. But after she witnesses𝓰 Doomfist's catastrophic attack on the city's OR15 security bots, Efi feels the call to build something greater: a true guardian of Numbani."

The Overwatch novel Hero of Numban📖i is scheduled to release on May 5, 2020.

As Jordan reported a few weeks back, Overwatch just got an update big enough that Blizzard calls it a "remaster". The roughly 8GB behemoth is live on the PTR and tweaks the stats of 13 heroes, which is close to half of Overwatch's 31-count roster. Update also brings a number of b𓄧ug fixes for characters on top of some fairly substantial tweaks, resulting in a patch that could seriously alter tier lists going forward.
