S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is Confirmed Dead

GSC Gameworld is no more, but a new project rises from the ashes.

We reported late last year that GSC Gameworld, the developer of the popular shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was closing its doors, and production on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was ended. Then about a month later there was word that things were going well, and the team was back to work on the game. Well, it is now official: GSC Gameworld is dead, as well as the game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. It’s not all bad news, however, as the people that comprised the core team have started a new studio.

Reports of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's demise have been greatly exaggerated?

We’ve reported on some sad news in the video game industry as of late. From massive layoffs to full-on studio closures, the past couple months have been pretty rough for some game makers. Thankfully, it’s not all bad news, and we can report today that at least one of those stories has a bit of a happy development. You may remember our report not too long ago about the studio closure of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. developer GSC Game World. Well, it seems like that’s not entirely the case, after all.

The future of the sequel is unknown.

Well, it looks like things are up in the air for GSC Game World right now. While the company hasn't come out and announced that the studio is completely closed down, things don't look good. In a statement made through the company's Twitter feed, GSC says they will do their best to continue, but nothing is certain. The website will continue, as will tech support and forums, at least for now. The original story follows.
