Interview: The State Of Russian Gaming, According To 1C
Gamasutra writes: "The Russian market is booming, with companies such as EA making inroads, and Russia’s largest publisher, 1C (Space Rangers, IL-2 Sturmovik) knows the market better than anyone.
Most recently, the firm is reparing for the international release of the latest title from Russian developer Katauri, Kings Bounty: The Legend – a fantasy RPG title based on a classic New World Computing IP, and has just announced its first multiplatform titles.
We caught up with 1C sales director Nikolay Baryshnikov to talk about the current climate in Russia, the company’s continuing international expansion, and to discuss the games which have been hits in Russia — if perhaps unknown here."
