War Thunder devs had to apologize over the weekend after players quickly noticed that a newly added loading screen featured imagery from the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Released in 2013, War Thunder is a combat MMO on console and PC featuring real-world planes, tanks, and battleships, where players take part in large-scale conflicts using their favorite vehicles.
“Please accept our sincere apologies for this, the picture was part of an aerial explosion reference pack used by our artists and the context was lost.” The community manager further explained that the developers will alter the artwork “as soon as we can.” Gaijin says it will “take measures to ensure” that this type of mistake doesn’t happen again in the future.
