Ukraine game developers say they’re staying put, with hopes to rebuild
It’s been more than 50 days since Russia launched its illegal invasion of Ukraine. In just the past few weeks, the battlefield situation has changed dramatically. An armored assault on the capital, Kyiv, has been blunted by dug-in Ukrainian forces. Russian troops have pulled back, redeploying for what experts believe will be a renewed offensive in the Donbas region to the east. The lull in the fighting has allowed some game developers to return to work, something many tell Polygon they now see as their patriotic duty.
