Symmetra’s Restoration Challenge Overwatch Event Now Live

Overwatch has a slew of new content centered around one of their heroes, Symmetra. The Symmetra’s Restoration Challenge event includes a new short story, as well as new events that reward players for playing.

This event runs from November 18th to December 1st, and even includes rewards for watching your favorite Twitch Streamers.

The short story, titled Stone By Stone, is written by award-winning author Christie Golden. In the story Symmetra is sent to make peace with the Omnics after the Vishkar Corporation destroys a statue sacred to the Omnics.

The summary of the story is as follows:

When Vishkar Corp. inadvertently destroys a sacred statue of Aurora, the first sentient omnic, the brilliant hard-light architect Satya Vaswani—known also as Symmetra—is sent in to avert a PR disaster. She’s been instructed to give the village whatever it wants—but she doesn’t know what that might be. When she accepts Tekhartha Zenyatta’s invitation to stay at the temple and learn about Aurora and the omnic faith, Symmetra embarks on a journey of understanding, compassion, and acceptance that results in the perfectly imperfect gift to the village, to Zenyatta… and to herself.
