GSC was unceremoniously shuttered in 2011 by CEO Sergei Grigorovich. It’s unknown how much, if any, of the game’s original development team remains. Instead, developers say it represents a target of “graphics and atmosphere we are aiming to achieve on release.” GSC also released a series of screenshots from the trailer, which we’ve included below. GSC said on Facebook that it’s not yet ready to disclose a specific release date.Īccording to a statement on Facebook, the trailer does not use in-game graphics.

It was first announced in 2018 with the numerals “2021” listed below the title of the game. STALKER 2 is being made by the original developer, Ukrainian studio GSC Game World. Later, it shows off some of STALKER’s trademark anomalies, including a red, glowing rock floating in the middle of a park a cloud of static electricity filling a schoolroom and a gravitational orb that crushed nearby cars.

The cinematic opens on a grimy door, then pans to birds in flight around the iconic Ferris wheel inside the Pripyat exclusion zone. The announcement was made Thursday during the Xbox Games Showcase, and was accompanied by the game’s first trailer - also available on YouTube. The sequel to STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, the legendary open-world first-person shooter set around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is coming to Xbox Series X as a “console launch exclusive” and will be part of Xbox Game Pass program.
