“TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG.”

Aleksandra Zaryanova is one of the strongest women on earth. She was a world-famous athlete until she decided to sacrifice her career as a successful athlete to protect family, friends and her country in times of war.

Aleksandra was born in a small village in a remote part of Siberia. At the time of the Omnic Crisis, some thirty years ago, her home was the scene of fierce fighting. The robots were defeated by Russian defense forces and their omnium was decommissioned, but the region was badly affected during the conflict. As a child, Aleksandra grew up amid the ruins after the crisis, and as she grew older, she vowed to one day have the strength to help her people.

Aleksandra started weightlifting and bodybuilding and the national sports federation soon realized that she had the potential to make it to the top. She trained obsessively and became a successful athlete who represented her country with international dignity. Many observers agreed that this young talent would break even long-standing records at the upcoming World Championships.

However, shortly before the start of the tournament, the Siberian Omnics, who had been quiet for decades, launched an attack and the war once again reached their village. Aleksandra immediately traveled home to volunteer with the local defense forces, forgoing a promising career as an athlete.

To those who serve with her, she is a brave comrade, but to many others she is a symbol of hope. Above all, Aleksandra sees her service as an opportunity to use her formidable strength to protect those close to her.

OVERWATCH HEROES

Heroes are the main element in the game Overwatch, as the player can freely choose between them and their class and later play them.

In Overwatch you’ll find a variety of heroes: from the time-traveling adventurer to the armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior to the meditating robot monk. Each of the heroes plays differently, so mastering their abilities will only unlock their full potential. No two heroes are alike.

In Overwatch you can expect an international team of powerful heroes, each of whom has made a name for himself in his own way.

OVERWATCH

Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.

The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.

Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
