Overview
- Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office announced the move against the Kyiv-based studio, alleging financial support for Ukraine’s armed forces.
- Officials say the 2022 funds were used to buy strike UAVs, components for them, and vehicles.
- The office also accuses the developer of promoting Ukrainian narratives and “aggressive russophobic content” in its 2024 release.
- The designation prohibits the studio’s activities in Russia and exposes partners to legal penalties under the country’s ‘undesirable’ law.
- GSC had already blocked sales of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in Russia and Belarus, Russian regulators previously blocked the studio’s websites in 2022, and the company has not commented.
