Crytek: Russian gamers are "hardcore", can "survive anything"

The Warface development team seems quite pleased with the reception the free-to-play shooter is getting in Russia.

"Oh, yeah. I enjoy the Russian market. They will survive anything," one of the developers said.

Warface is also being tested in China, where things are quite different.

Warface is expected to spread to other territories some time this year, apparently thanks to Trion.
