It has not escaped your notice, but the war in Ukraine is a terrible ordeal for countless people. Among them the developers of STALKER, who have to decide to interrupt everything.
Ukraine is a country rich in video games, among which we can of course mention GSC Game World, to which we owe the incredible Cossacks series, but of course also STALKER 2. Recently said studio spoke on video to say about the raging war speak in the country since the Russian invasion.
A terrible ordeal and a message
First of all, the video is intended to show the making-off of motion capture in the game STALKER 2. But obviously the actual topic comes up very quickly:
Now we strive to help our employees and their families survive. The development of the game fell by the wayside. But we will definitely continue. After the win…”
STALKER 2 Suspend
Development is therefore completely suspended for an indefinite period. Normally scheduled for December 8th on PC and Xbox Series, we suspect there’s little chance of seeing the game release on that date. Because the war is bound to have a tremendous impact on all employees, regardless of the outcome.
We are, of course, wholeheartedly with the studio staff and, by extension, with the entire Ukrainian population. The video game suddenly seems very ridiculous to the idea of a war and what an entire population has to go through.
