Description

In the technologically advanced African city of Numbani, in the not-so-distant future, humans live in harmony with humanoid 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. But after she witnesses Doomfist's catastrophic attack on the city's OR15 security bots, Efi feels the call to build something greater: a true guardian of Numbani. She engineers an intelligent and compassionate robot, Orisa, who has a lot to learn before she's ready to defeat Doomfist.

Can Efi mould Orisa into the hero of Numbani before it's too late?
