Nuclear Union (Russian: Новый Союз / Novyy Soyuz, actually meaning "New Union") is a cancelled post-apocalyptic role-playing video game. It was developed by the Ukrainian company Best Way, and supposed to be funded and published by the Russian publisher 1C Company,[1][2] to be released in 2014 for Microsoft Windows, but the latter pulled its involvement at the end of 2013 due to the political instability in Ukraine, resulting in the game's cancellation.[1]
The story begins during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, with the majority of the narrative and gameplay taking place in an alternate, modern-day Soviet Union after a nuclear war.[3][4][5]
The artistic style of Nuclear Union was a dark retrofuturist one, with post-apocalyptic landscapes and older prototypes beside modern weapons, reminiscent of other famous Ukrainian games such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Metro 2033.
Best Way published three trailers for Nuclear Union: announcement trailer, concept art trailer, and the gameplay trailer.
