Oasis is a Control map in Overwatch.
Official Description
Oasis is one of the world's most advanced cities, a shining jewel rising from the Arabian Desert. A monument to human ingenuity and invention, researchers and academics from around the region came together to found a city dedicated to scientific progress without restraints. The city and its inhabitants are governed by the Ministries, a collection of brilliant minds who possess many secrets that have attracted the interest of powerful organizations from around the world.[1]
Background
Oasis is set in the Arabian desert in Iraq. It was founded by a group of scientists looking for a way to push the boundaries of what modern science at the time could do, albeit hindered by regulations. Thus they founded Oasis as a testament to the ingenuity of humanity. In their minds, what better way to do so than turning the middle of a desert into one of the most technical technologically advanced and wonderful cities in the world.[2]
The Vishkar Corporation desires to have a presence in the city.[3]
