Looks like Wargaming. publisher of both World of Tanks and World of Warships, a PVP based game featuring WW1 and WWII aircraft and ships is leaving Belarus completely in light of the ongoing Russia Ukraine Conflict.
Wargaming, the developer of the online military games World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes, has announced that it will pull out of operations in Russia and Belarus and move to close its studios.
In a statement posted to LinkedIn, Wargaming said it had started the process of closing its Minsk studio. It also said that, effective March 31, it had transferred the business of operating its games in Russia and Belarus to Lesta Studio, a Russian developer that Wargaming acquired in 2011, but which “is no longer affiliated with Wargaming,” according to the statement. The games will remain available in Russia and Belarus under Lesta’s ownership.
“The company will not profit from this process either today or going forward. Much to the contrary we expect to suffer substantial losses as a direct result of this decision,” the statement said. World of Tanks is a very popular game in Russia.
Wargaming also owns a studio in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and employs over 500 people there. In February, Wargaming fired creative director Sergey Burkatovskiy after he made a statement in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Facebook. Burkatovskiy’s stance “categorically does not reflect the position of the company,” Wargaming told PC Gamer.
