Wargaming closes all his studios in Russia and Belarus
Developer Studio Wargaming , known for games like World of Tanks or World of Warships , has announced in a message that all business activities are set in Russia and Belarus . Like many other companies, Wargaming now also attracts the consequences from the Russian attack war against Ukraine - even if one speaks in the statement only by a "strategic review of global business activities".
How is it now with Wargaming?
More than 20 years ago, Wargaming.net was founded in the Belarussian capital Minsk before being relocated its headquarters in 2011 to Nicosia in Cyprus . The Studio in Minsk - which was still actively involved in the projects - is now "in compliance with the statutory provisions" as quickly as possible . Games like World of Tanks will continue to operate in Russia and Belarus - but no longer under the direction of Wargaming.
The responsibility for the titles in the two countries was transferred to the team of Lestta Studio on March 31, 2022. The company was bought almost ten years ago by Wargaming. At now, however, you have nothing to do with the Russian developer studio. Wargaming now expects "significant loss of sales" as a result of this decision. However, you no longer want to benefit from the live games business in Russia and Belarus.
Wargaming already supported his employees in Ukraine
Because World of Tank developers also operate a studio of World of Tanks in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv , the on-site employee was promised shortly after the start of the invasion support . These were financial support as well as helps when traveling in secure areas. Wargaming also moved with a donation of $ 1 million ** to the Red Cross in Ukraine.
