Ukrainian publishing house The WIll Production has finally released the third volume of the popular comic book The Will, dedicated to the alternative history of the Ukrainian state in the early 20th century, and presented the official trailer for the novel.
"A direct continuation of the Ukrainian fantasy comic book series Volya! An alternative history. 1919. Hetman Skoropadskyi, not counting on the help of fickle allies, urgently strengthens the defense of the ZUNR and the Ukrainian State, hoping to complete the secret Goliath superweapon project in time. While the main Bolshevik forces have suddenly disappeared from all fronts, Nestor Makhno's army is waiting for something, and the Polish Diesel Hussars have approached neutral territories, academician Vernadsky reveals the secret of the Reds' necro-technology. To stop the invasion of zombie communists, our heroes go to the very center of the Bolshevik empire. But will they have the WILLpower to fulfill the risky mission?" reads the comic's description.
The first volume of the comic book The Will was published in 2018 and has been reprinted many times since then. The second volume appeared in 2019. And now, finally, 5 years later, the third volume was published. On the other hand, the publishing house did not sit idle. During this time, Volia has released spinoffs such as Knyazha Volia and CyberKray (Ukrainian cyberpunk with Pavlo Zibrov!), a board game called Volia: Assault Squad, books, a short film, and more. By the way, despite the fact that the founders of The WIll Production are former game developers, we haven't heard anything about a video game based on Volya yet. It's a shame, because the setting is really gorgeous.
