GSC Game World teams would complete STALKER 2 without putting themselves in danger. Part of the studio would move to the Czech Republic from its premises in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Unfortunately, you are aware that the Russian-initiated war in Ukraine is ongoing, which had prompted GSC Game World to indefinitely suspend development of STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl. However, according to several Czech sources, the studio could be partially relocated to Prague or its surroundings.
Development on the mend?
It’s first whirla Czech video game site pointing this out “This part of the GSC Game World team is going to the Czech Republic, where the studio is already registered for business”, and this to resume the design of STALKER 2. Pavel Dobrovsky, another journalist, had the same information. The only difference is that it says here that the whole studio would move to the Czech Republic and not necessarily to Prague.
Pavel Barák, President of the Association of Czech Game Developers, confirms that he was contacted by GSC Game World.
I can confirm that the federation was contacted by GSC Game World early last week to say they are considering the Czech Republic and neighboring countries. The teams needed us for legal and employment matters.
A move to complete STALKER 2 safely
Earlier, the STALKER 2 studio released a poignant message to announce the suspension of development. Above all, the aim was to remember not to endanger the families and employees of GSC Game World.
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…
Beyond the association, GSC Game World has asked developers in the Czech Republic for advice. Specifically, Jan Kavan of CBD Software gave the “10 Commandments” to starting a business in this field. The same goes for Ashborne Games, who were able to exchange ideas with the STALKER 2 studio for this move.
