ArmA3 を開発している Bohemia Interactive は公式ブログ上で、ArmA3 の舞台であったギリシャのリムノス島の名称を "Altis" 島へ名称を変更する事を発表しました。この名称変更は ArmA3 の舞台が架空の島であるという強調であり、ギリシャ当局によって ArmA3 の二人の開発者が 129 日間も拘束され、保釈中であり現在は裁判を待っているという状況が、強く影響しています。
Bohemia Interactive has renamed the main island of its upcoming mil-sim game, Arma 3. The new name, ‘Altis’, reflects the distinctive Mediterranean identity of its environment, but distinguishes it from the real-world Greek island of Lemnos, which has served as the main source of inspiration.
The decision follows an incident involving the arrest of two Bohemia Interactive employees, who were spending their holidays on Lemnos. Both were detained for 129 days on suspicion of espionage. They were recently released on bail.
Arma 3’s main island (approx. 350 km²) is inspired by the beautiful environment of the Greek island, Lemnos (approx. 475 km²), artistically re-created based on commercially and publicly available data. It was originally chosen to be the centre-piece of the game after Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, visited the island on vacation several years ago and shared his impressions with the Arma 3 development team.
However, in view of recent events, the team no longer feels passionate about using the previous name, 'Limnos', and hopes that the new identity, ‘Altis’, will help emphasize the fictional nature of the game. A secondary, significantly smaller island in Arma 3, ‘Stratis’ (approx. 20 km²), will keep its name.
Joris-Jan van ‘t Land, Project Lead on Arma 3, explains: "As part of the creative process, our virtual environments are often rooted in real-life locations and, during development, they evolve and grow along with our design. The resulting fictional environment is often close to its inspiration, but it's never exactly the same - nor would we want it to be. For us, 'Altis' echoes the Mediterranean heart of our island, but differentiates it from any undesired real-life connotations.”

"Altis" 島 (350 キロ平方メートル) はリムノス島 (475 キロ平方メートル) に触発され、公的、商的や美術的に使用可能なデータに基いて再作成されるとの事。リムノス島が ArmA3 の舞台となったのは、CEO である Marek が休暇で訪れ、開発チームと認識を共有し舞台と選ばれました。またもう一つの島である Stratis (20 キロ平方メートル) の名称は変更されません。
直近の自体を考慮すると、架空性を強調するために名称変更はやむを得ない状況だったのではないでしょうか。次の情報は 2 月中に発表される予定です。
