Not only the original developers worked on Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, but also the Aspyr company, which has quite significant Russian roots. She also acted as a publisher.

Aspyr, which publishes this game, is a subsidiary of the Russian-based Saber Interactive in the US, which has an office in Saber Russia, which is currently developing Space Marine II based on Warhammer 40K.

I am NOT advocating NOT to buy Tomb Raider. I’m just noting, maybe it’s very important for someone.

TG channel Padon reports that although Aspyr is an American company, it is a subsidiary of Saber Interactive, founded by Russians and has an active Saber Russia office.

AND JOB YOUR MOTHER! the remaster was done by Aspyr (which belongs to the Russian (Cypriot-American-Armenian) Saber…)

There is a feeling that the Russians add Ukrainian to our games more than other Western companies.

Although what is “feeling”, they make money on this, because they will sell the language “in a package” =(

It also became known that at least 2 participants from the Russian site (and YouTube channel) stopgame were directly involved in the development of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered.

Also, they made it to the credits.

This explains why Russian voice acting appeared, which was not in the original games. Ukrainian “deserved” only text localization. This time, the Russians found a really effective way to get into the gaming industry. Due to the nostalgic notes of many inhabitants of the civilized world, the game has a great chance to earn money, including due to the large number of reviews on leading sites such as The Verge.
