Blizzard released today a new
Overwatch short story, "Valkyrie," focused on Mercy. The new story, by Michael Chu, focuses on the head of medical research/brilliant healer who
"must confront her past and wrestle with whether she should join the fight again."
Accompanying the release of the short story is a special in-game event, Mercy's Recall Challenge. Running from November 12 through December 2, the event allows players to complete specific challenges to earn rewards. A total of 10 new rewards -- eight sprays, a player icon and the legendary Dr. Ziegler skin -- can be unlocked by completing the following tasks:
-
Win 3 Games | 1 Player Icon
-
Win 6 Games | 2 New Sprays
-
Win 9 Games | New legendary skin: Dr. Ziegler skinWins can be earned in Quick Play, Competitive Play, or Arcade.
Additionally, you can earn a total of six new Sprays by simpy watching Twitch streamers. Watching two hours of streams will get you one new spray; four hours gets two more sprays; and six hours gets the final three sprays.
