Last year, the group of companies "Lesta Games" faced a series of problems: first, its head, along with the head of Wargaming, was found guilty of creating an extremist organization, and then it came under state control. It turned out that following this, several top managers left "Lesta Games" and founded a new studio.
As reported by the Telegram channel "Sad Cyberpunk," the studio is called "Mira A." Formally, it was opened back in March 2024, but initially belonged to other people and was named JSC "PKS BRUT" — apparently, at that time, it had no relation to game development. In October 2025, it was purchased for 15 thousand rubles by the former business development director of "Lesta Games," Gauhar Aldiyarova, after which the organization was renamed and switched its business to game development and publishing.
Besides Aldiyarova, the team of "Mira A" includes several other former members of "Lesta Games." Among them are former technical director Mikhail Popov and former PR director Svetlana Karacharova.
If the information from "Sad Cyberpunk" is to be believed, the studio is currently working in two directions. One of them is the development of games about drone management. The second is the development of children's games. Currently, three titles are known to be in development: the tactical team shooter "World of Drones," the drone simulator "Freight Unbound," and the children's robot simulator "TerraBot."
It is reported that "Mira A" has already pitched all three games to private investors and government institutions. During the presentation, they allegedly requested 3.6 billion rubles for further development — half of the total project budget — and estimated the projected annual revenue post-launch at 8.4 billion rubles. Whether anyone agreed to finance the company is unknown.
"Sad Cyberpunk" reached out for comments to representatives of "Mira A," but they declined to discuss the information from its sources.
Update: The editorial team of App2Top was contacted by the press service of "Lesta Games," which indicated that Mikhail Popov is listed as being with their team, not with "Mira A."
"We are surprised by the listing of our active employees as part of another project’s team. Mikhail Popov still works with us and holds the position of Deputy Director for the development of 'World of Tanks.' Previously, we have already faced false information about our work. In particular, we were accused of firing 1,500 people from the 'World of Warships' project, overlooking one detail — such a number of employees never existed in that project," stated the company's press service.
