Setting
Salvation takes place in 2030. The backstory of the game is not elaborated on, but can be pieced together through in-game references and other offhand information. According to several characters and other clues, the infamous Cold War between the United States of America and the Soviet Union continued beyond the 1980s due to the economy of the latter nation remaining in a decent state among other major political events such as Gobrachev not becoming the new leader. By the end of the 1990s, tensions between the two countries had rose to a dangerous point after NATO forces converged on the Pristina international airport in Kosovo. Fearing that the United States may ultimately strike first, the Soviet Union began to compose a biological virus that would hopefully cause a pandemic within America, crippling the nation. In 2009, malware developed by Soviet technologists were sent to various power grids, sewage and water systems across the United States, effectively causing widespread blackouts and shortages. During this, Soviet agents infiltrated a water disinfection plant in upstate New York and released the virus, known as ZA-19, into the clean water. Once the malware had been removed, power and other infrastructures were enabled once again. By May, ZA-19 had spread across the entire east coast of the United States with over 15,783 infected reports. Years pass, and most of the United States had slowly descended into chaos as more than 420,000 infected reports surfaced. Eventually, it is discovered that the infected individuals had become beligerent and mutated into bizarre, zombie-like beings, each having specific preterhuman capabilities. In 2013, the Soviet Union begins invading the United States but is unaware of how much havoc they have really caused. Months after the initial invasion, most of the Soviet forces became infected with ZA-19 and also mutated as a result, leading to diverse reports of ZA-19 surfacing acoss the planet with the most prominent zones being in Africa, Canada and the United Kingdom. Come 2017, almost 37% of the world's population had been infected by ZA-19, and many resistance groups were formed to combat the infected, who had been officially dubbed "Progenies". As time goes on, safe havens known as "Sanctuaries" were built as homes for those who were otherwise not fighting against the Progenies. The Sanctuaries also served as medical and scientific hubs that accommodated the brightest of physicists, biologists and scientists who tried to devise a cure but failed numerous times.

Plot
On August 5, 2030, a Progeny was successfully captured and returned to Sanctuary Ancora in Hamilton, Ohio. There, it is discovered that the Progeny contains a unique strand of Aurum DNA, a rare but specific form of chromosome which allows for Progenies to self-mutate and become even more stronger than before. After observing that the Progeny first mutated in the city-state of Capricorn, located about 28 miles from Sanctuary Ancora, scientist
