Russian studio plans Steam release of game about 2022 battles for Hostomel in Kyiv Oblast

A Russian video game studio is set to release a game on Steam depicting the battles for Hostomel during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, framing the events in a controversial light.

Cats Who Play, a Russian video game developer, is preparing to launch a new game on Steam about the battles for the Antonov airfield in Hostomel, situated in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. This game is based on real events that transpired during the early phases of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, particularly the assault on Hostomel. The game aims to present a narrative of the landing of Russian airborne troops and their subsequent withdrawal, referring to the operations as a "brilliant Russian airborne assault on the outskirts of Kyiv." The narrative choice in the game has sparked discussions among potential players.
