After complicated development, the long wait for STALKER 2 is nearing its end. The GSC Game World studio can now look to the future of its flagship license, which looks bright.
GSC Game World seems to be doing well at the moment. The Ukrainian studio that we owe the STALKER games to has actually hired a new person to get the license on a very good path.
A new person joins the STALKER zone
This year, fans of the STALKER series have something to look forward to. First of all, of course, we have “Heart of Chornobyl,” which is expected on September 5th. Before that, it was the original trilogy, which first appeared on consoles on March 6th. The Ukrainian studio GSC Game World is looking up tremendously.
Today we learn that he feels confident enough to hire someone for a very important position. Agostino Simonetta, who has worked at SEGA and THQ, joins the team as Chief Commercial Officer. His role will be to lead the studio’s publishing and business operations. One of his most pressing prerogatives is the impending release of STALKER 2. But his task obviously won’t stop there. Quite the opposite, actually.
A future that radiates optimism
In any case, Evgeniy Grygorovych, CEO of GSC Game World, welcomed his new commercial director to the team with open arms. “ Simonetta has been friends with the studio for many years “. He continues by making a statement that is sure to please fans.” We have ambitious plans for the future, with new projects and licenses in development ».
After a long desert crossing with STALKER 2, the development of which was particularly influenced by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, this is definitely a relief in the heart. Let’s hope this much-watched title lives up to expectations. This is both for the good of Microsoft, which really needs a win, and for a GSC Game World that is finally optimistic about the future.
