Inspired by a real place
How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Mason and Hudson raid a Soviet chemical weapons facility on an island in the Aral Sea to find Friedrich Steiner and the Nova 6 gas.
The real place
Aralsk-7 was a secret Soviet biological weapons test site, and its town of Kantubek was abandoned in 1992. The shrinking Aral Sea joined the island to the mainland in 2001, and the land is split between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Visiting
The site is remote desert, has been largely dismantled and once held buried anthrax, so visiting is not advised. Aral Sea tours from Nukus and Moynaq visit the ship graveyard and the old shoreline instead.
