Overwatch - or what is left of it - is at war with the Gods of Oasis. Russia is in a parallel war with itself, Katya Volskaya's government against the popular uprising led by the Aleksandra Zaryanova, the Goddess of Russia. As winter set in, Zarya's March to Moscow slowed to a crawl, held, waiting for a change in the weather.
But now, it is spring - a slippery thing, in Russia, but still inevitable - and the time for waiting is over.

Alliances, it has been said, are at their weakest on the brink of defeat, and on the brink of victory.
