It depends on the game content and whether Russia reckons the developers support Ukraine's military.

    I’d be very surprised if it didn’t contain any anti-Russian sentiments.

      clown regime in moscow had a lot to do with the failed handling of the original “accident”

      IIRC they removed the Russian VO and changed the English name’s spelling from Chernobyl, based on the Russian spelling, to Chornobyl

        I’ve heard that too. But I bet there’s going to be much more than that.

        Chernobyl is in Ukraine. Why not get a Ukrainian Voice actor?

        No. One of the enemy factions was the military, which definitely were Ukrainians.

          I could have sworn the hostile scavenger type of characters were Russians, I guess I understood that incorrectly. Its been at least 10 years since I played the originals, so maybe I just misremembered it.
