The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia has initiated the seizure of assets of Lesta Games, a well-known publisher of the popular games World of Tanks and World of Warships. The event took place on April 17 in the Tagansky District Court of Moscow and became an important turning point in the context of the current situation in the Russian gaming market.
The arrest affected three legal entities, including the main structure of Lesta LLC, the Moscow office of Lesta Games Moscow, and Lesta Games Agency, which is responsible for publishing games. The details of the lawsuit are not disclosed, and the Prosecutor General's Office is refraining from commenting on its actions for now.
The company operates in full compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, so we have no reason for any concerns or concealment of information. We have not violated anything and we have nothing to fear.
Lesta Games is a St. Petersburg-based video game studio that manages the World of Tanks, World of Warships, and Tanks Blitz projects in Russia. In 2022, Lesta separated from the international company Wargaming, which in 2023 began raising funds to support Ukrainian citizens. For gamers and fans, the seizure of World of Tanks assets may mean uncertainty in the future of the company and its projects. This may affect the availability and development of games.
