Greetings, Stalkers,
The past year has been an extraordinary odyssey within the Zone—a period defined by rigorous challenges, pivotal breakthroughs, and the tireless dedication required to transform a vision into something truly remarkable.
Throughout 2025, our team remained deeply immersed in development, pouring every ounce of effort into refining the experience. The fruits of that labor are now evident: the game possesses a level of fluidity and reliability we are incredibly proud of, delivering seamless performance on PC and shining brightly on consoles. The warm reception of the PS5 version this past November was a particularly heartening milestone for all of us.
Our roadmap for 2026 is brimming with promise, and we are eager to embark on that journey with you. Development on the inaugural story DLC is well underway, and we are simultaneously transitioning to an updated iteration of Unreal Engine 5. This technical evolution will ensure the Zone remains both visually breathtaking and exceptionally stable.
You have been a cornerstone of this community for years, navigating every anomaly and discovering every artifact alongside us. Your presence made 2025 feel truly significant.
We offer our profound gratitude for your unwavering patience, your enthusiasm, and your continued support. It is quite literally what keeps our fires burning.
Wishing you a magnificent New Year!
As a small seasonal token of our appreciation, we invite you to experience this atmospheric glimpse into what lies ahead. Stay tuned for further revelations—they are coming very soon.
With warmth,
The GSC Game World Team
