Atomic Heart video game draws scrutiny from Ukrainian officials and gamers for alleged Russia ties

New video game Atomic Heart, set in an alternative history in which the Soviet Union experiences a tech boom following World War II, is facing allegations that it peddles dangerous pro-Russian propaganda and criticism for its developer’s perceived connections with Russia amid the country’s invasion of Ukraine. On Friday, Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted official letters he sent to the heads of Sony, Microsoft and Valve, urging them to block Atomic Heart from their gaming platforms.
