Poles about to release video game about Chornobyl disaster – video
Chornobyl Liquidators, a video game from the Polish studio Live Motion Games about the events at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) on 26 April, 1986, and the feat of firefighters and liquidators of the largest man-made disaster in history, will soon be released.
The project, which started five years ago, received a release date and a new publisher, the Polish company called Frozen Way. Chornobyl Liquidators will be released on Steam on 6 June 2024. The developers have released a new trailer for the game and several new screenshots.
Certain media point out that many things about the game look weird. Ukrainian outlet Mezha writes the following: "And we have questions about the screenshots because the game looks... strange on some of them. There were definitely no posters saying "Let's celebrate 1 May!" in the Soviet era; the text was completely different, and it was clearly the work of those who had merely heard about those times. The names of fire stations were never written on cars with words mirror-wise, as they are now written on ambulances. Some items look anachronistic even for the Soviet Union of 1986, with some deriving from Poland and not from the-then Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic".
The game's description on Steam says: "It's a story about real people facing a real threat — the CNPP disaster (CNPP stands for Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant – ed.), invisible radiation, KGB, difficult moral choices... Do you have enough courage and strength to take on this challenge?"
