An excerpt from the book “Wait, hares!” in Atomic Heart she is racist

First person shooter atomic heartset in an alternate Soviet Union, contains parts from the animated series Just wait, rabbit! However, the episode at the museum caused an uproar. Africans are supposed to be portrayed in a negative light.

In particular, this is a statue of a native of Africa. This prop in the museum shoots a bow and starts an avalanche of trouble. According to some users of the Reseter forum, this is racist, and they do not like that this is part of Atomic Heart without context and warnings.

The developers from the “Russian” studio Mundfish apologized for this passage and quickly promised that edit excerpt. But then they deleted the tweet, which caused even more outrage. Some point out that the creators react quickly to such a banal case, and because of other, more serious accusations, they are silent for months – money from Russia for game development, war in Ukraine…

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine recently announced that it will ask Valve, Sony and Microsoft to stop selling Atomic Heart in Ukraine. He also called for restrictions on sales in other countries and a boycott of the game. Mundfish also did not comment on this.
