It’s official – Stalker developer GSC has officially stopped operations and cancelled the development of Stalker 2.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian developer has been in\u00a0financial troubles<\/a> for quite some time, and the inevitable has happened, with GSC closing its doors.<\/p>\n

Sad news for Stalker fans, as the post-apocalyptic shooter sequel seems to be in limbo now.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, the development team promises to “do its best” and have formed a spin-off studio, Vostok Games.<\/p>\n

Vostok are currently developing a new free-to-play MMO FPS called ‘Suvarium’, which will return players to the Stalker games’ setting of ‘The Zone’.<\/p>\n

“The concept of Survarium is a next evolution step for the idea of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. we’ve been working on for the last ten years,” said project lead Ruslan Didenko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Survarium will go way further forcing mankind to fight for survival not only within the closed area of Chernobyl zone, but also far beyond.”<\/p>\n
