War of the Worlds went silent for many years after the massive success of the 2005 film starring Tom Cruise. The story took hold of the hearts of sci-fi nerds worldwide based on the novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Almost two decades later, a new action/adventure game inspired by the same alien invasion is on the horizon. Still, this time, it’s taking place in Russia. Welcome to War of the Worlds: Siberia.

The team has worked hard on their concept. They needed to bring a perspective that the world had never seen before. They realised that the invasions in The War of The Worlds probably weren’t isolated to Victorian Britain and that the rest of the world had to face this alien invasion.

1C Game Studio is based in Moscow, and Albert Zhiltsov, a director at the studio, shared that it was vital for them to represent the tumultuous
