World of Tanks: Lesta Faces Legal Troubles Amid Ongoing Development in Russia

World of Tanks primary developer, Wargaming, halted operations in Russia following the Ukraine invasion. But the game continues to be developed there by Lesta. As a result, the Russian version of the game has diverged slightly, but it remains as popular as ever.

However, Lesta is currently facing significant legal challenges that are unrelated to game development or player activity. According to a report from MassivelyOP, the prosecutor general’s office has seized the assets of three companies operating under the Lesta name. The exact reasons for this action remain unclear, though speculation has surfaced on Reddit.
