Warface will stop supporting the Russian-language version of the shooter on Steam and EGS

Breaking News: Warface to Discontinue Russian-Language Support on Steam and EGS

If you’re a fan of the shooter game Warface, we’ve got some unsettling news for you. Astrum Entertainment, the company now responsible for the game’s development, has announced the discontinuation of its Russian-language version on Steam and EGS platforms. Let’s dive into what this means for players.

What’s Changing?

The change will affect not just Russia but also other CIS countries, including Belarus and Kazakhstan. Starting from September 19, access to the game’s pages and related payments in Valve and Epic Games stores will be disabled. But that’s not all: the game servers will shut down in exactly three months.

What Can Players Do?

The developers have offered a solution: you can transfer all your progress to a VK Play account. To do this, you’ll either need to create a new account or use an existing one that doesn’t yet have any characters.

Preserving Access

Here’s some good news: if you add Warface to your Steam or EGS client, you’ll still have access to the game. So don’t waste any time!

My Take

This is quite an unexpected and unfortunate turn for Warface fans. On the flip side, the offer to transfer progress to VK Play is some sort of solution. Either way, it’s time to think about the future of your gaming.
