It was an excellent shock when GSC Game World announced S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in 2018, provided that they scrapped it when the studio basically shut down in 2011 and its builders had long-since left. It’s concurrently a) much less and b) extra of a shock to see GSC Game World announce S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. 2 once more in 2019 as a result of a) we knew b) wait they’re saying it once more? Indeed GSC are, repeating that they plan to launch S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. 2 within the yr 2021. If something, them repeating this with little new to indicate after ten months makes me lose confidence on this 1) taking place 2) being good. But I’m instructed of a distant and hidden place named the Room, the place needs are granted, and if I can discover a information to get me there…
Here’s yesterday’s SURPRISING information:
Perhaps their social media individual has some humorous concepts about participating content material and takes Twitter’s “What’s happening?” immediate too actually, declaring “announced” in the identical method your uncle declares “tea time!!” and “watching Blue Planet” and “time to walk the dog”. Yes, S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. 2, I get it, you’re introduced, now discover one thing fascinating to say about that.
They followed up saying they’d share “news and interesting content” however all they’ve to indicate for now’s some paintings and, on the game’s website, a moody music monitor.
As thrilling as it’s to obtain affirmation that sure, GSC actually are doing a sequel to their trilogy of survival shooters set within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone… we’ve heard that earlier than. Several times. And the GSC Game World that made S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. is long-dead.
After the corporate all-but shut down years in the past, the individuals who made the sequence went on to new jobs and new studios, many on S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R.-ish games together with Survarium and the wildly-cursed Areal. That’s to not say solely the unique dev group are able to making S.T.A.L.Okay.E.R. game however, y’know, the present GSC’s basis for reviving the sequence appears largely to be proudly owning the rights to it. And all we’ve seen them do since reopening in 2014 was remake Cossacks, their earlier RTS.
I’m protecting my expectations low however god, I’d like to be mistaken.
