It will most definitely be banned (they even shut down one of the few Ukrainian language libraries in russia before the full scale invasion) and likely it won't be available in russian anyway.

Good. Hopefully russia also bans all the games portraying LGBT characters and ethnic minorities, so I can fucking play Overwatch without running into these assholes every other match

I am surprised it's not already banned. They were going to ban Duolingo because of presence of animated LGBT characters. Duolingo caved and made a custom "LGBT free" version for the russian market.

oof. If Blizzard does that, they'd have to cut like at least 1/3 of the characters lmao
