Against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the gaming world is drawing a line: Niantic has declared complete solidarity with Ukraine and is taking a stand against Putin's regime.
Let them go looking
Pokemon hiding all over Russia can relax: no longer come to capture them.
Niantic has discontinued Pokemon Go in the invading country and also in its friend Belarus, and from now on not only the game cannot be downloaded in the pair of countries, but also those who have already installed the mobile hit ahead of time will not be able to activate it.

Niantic has declared complete solidarity with Ukraine, and earlier this month even donated more than a quarter of a million dollars to humanitarian organizations assisting its residents.
In doing so, the company joins a long line of gaming powers such as Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Bus, Take 2, Bungee, Ubisoft and many others, who have taken a firm stand against the Putin regime.
Is there a war?
No Pokemon!
Ceasefire, we have waiting
Official: Activision is working on a mobile version of Call of Duty: Warzone, the free spin-off of the world's most successful shooting game series.
This is not a big surprise, as rumors have been on the air for a long time, but the interesting report is that the game is in the early stages of development, and the Spanish studio entrusted with the project, Digitial Legends (owned by Activision ... that is, Microsoft), is recruiting employees Executives.
Therefore, do not expect to play COD for free on your mobile in the next year or two.
Voice of Duty Versailles,
And in a similar vein: World of Warcraft's first mobile game will be unveiled in May and is expected to come out later this year, Activision-Blizzard announced.
Is implied.
Space on time
In space no one can hear you fucking: The long-awaited remake of Dead Space - in our opinion one of the best action / horror games of all time (a kind of Resident Evil in space, if you will), will not be released this year.
The title was expected to hit stores this October, but Electronic Arts has chosen to postpone it to an unknown date in 2023, probably at the beginning but go know.
Scholars in the gaming industry argue that the decision to delay the game stems from the developers' desire to give it another polishing layer, arguing that EA's goal is to meet the standards set by Kafkom's amazing remake of Resident Evil 2. Knowledgeable people usually know a thing or two, so we will not argue with them .
At least Corona is no longer to blame.
Deadspace,
Gotham belongs to the young
So Dead Space's remake may be postponed to next year, but another promising game that will actually hit us in 2022 is Gotham Knights, which some define as a spin-off of Batman's Arkham series - though the developers claim it's a whole new plot and world unrelated to the original trilogy.
We'll see.
Anyway, the game will focus on the Batman's young friends, including Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing and others, because Batman himself - hold on tight - is dead!
Gotham,
The city of Gotham is flooded with crime and evil due to the departure of the Dark Knight, so the former junior heroes must take command and show the villains, including Mr. Paris and the Penguin (because not at the level of the Joker messing with these little ones?), This language is not yet Chicago.
In short, we marked October 25 in the diaries, and who would be willing to bet on a Batman guest appearance at the end of the game?
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
