S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 canceled
S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 canceled series#
series to consoles fell through and the projected sales for a PC-exclusive post-apocalyptic shooter based in eastern Europe weren't enough to justify the expense of developing the game. Galyonkin said a deal to bring the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The team is almost completely dissolved, the state has only a few people," he wrote, obviously Google translated.
S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 canceled update#
UPDATE 2: Sergey Galyonkin, marketing director at 1C Multimedia has blogged about the closure of GSC, which you may or may not take as confirmation as you see fit. An interesting twist! We're waiting for an official response to our inquiries from GSC and will update again when we hear more. He also told Beefjack that he has "no connection" with the project and was only tweeting about what he'd heard. UPDATE: It turns out that Dmitri Bourkovski, who earlier "confirmed" the closure of GSC on Twitter, doesn't actually work for GSC Game World at all his Linkedin profile lists him as the "Head of Publishing, Games Division" at. It's a faint hope - a very, very faint hope - but given how much I've been looking forward to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. On the other hand, this wouldn't be the first time that an eastern European game company pulled a bizarre "we're going out of business!" stunt to drum up publicity. 2 is dead in the water.Īnd sadly, it looks like it is true: GSC initially denied the report via Twitter, but that tweet was quickly deleted and then followed by Rock, Paper, Shotgun, GSC said only, "Sorry, no comments at this point," which is never a good sign. The closure of the studio, of course, means that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. What led to the decision isn't clear, although it appears that someone - perhaps Grigorovich, perhaps employees at the studio - weren't happy with the progress being made on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. According to a GSC Game World founder and CEO Sergei Grigorovich has decided to shut down the company.
This is seriously disappointing news if it turns out to be true. 2 is canceled and developer GSC Game World has been closed down. An ugly rumor coming out of Ukraine claims that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
