The Ukrainian Government has asked gaming companies to remove Atomic Heart from their digital stores due to the allegations that they are pro-Russia.

The developer of the game Mundfish has denied the allegations, yet Ukraine are insistent that the Cyprus-based company is supporting Russia as the game revolves around an alternative history of the Soviet Union.

Mundfish is also denying that they collect player data and send it to the Russian Government, with other accusations they are helping with the funding of the war.

"We want to assure you that Mundfish is a developer and studio with a global team focused on an innovative game and is undeniably a pro-peace organisation against violence against people," the company said.

Oleksandr Boryakov, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, is sure of these accusations being true, and will be contacting Sony, Microsoft, and Valve to ban the game.

"We also call to limit the distribution of this game in other countries due to its toxicity, the potential collection of user data information and the possibility of their transfer to third parties in Russia, as well as the potential use of money raised from game purchases to wage war against Ukraine," said Bornyakov, according to dev.ua and the Game World Observer.

"Therefore, we urge all users to ignore this game. 

"We also want to emphasize for the Western audience that the developers of the game did not come out with a public statement condemning the Putin regime and the bloody war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine."

The Russian Invasion surpassed its one-year anniversary on February 24.
