The GSC Game World studio suffered a fire that destroyed one of the floors used by the company.

The authors of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl from the studio GSC Game World moved largely to Prague after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
According to our information, there was a fire in the team offices last night.
We received the report from two independent trusted sources who wish to remain anonymous.
An electrical installation fire broke out in a high-rise building in Na Pankráci Street. Five fire units responded to the scene. Several dozen people were evacuated.
According to the Prague municipality website, there were 30 people, according to the Požary.cz website, 20 people.

Fortunately, there were no injuries in the fire and the damage was tentatively estimated at 1.5 million crowns.

One of the three floors of the GSC Game World studio was said to have been affected by the fire.
We have a photo from the scene which indicates that the fire devastated the office equipment and the interior itself.
However, we cannot publish it.
It was said to be the most important floor with backup servers.
The other two were not affected by the fire.

We have no information at this time as to whether this event may affect the completion of the game in any way.
We are investigating further details. If we learn something new, we will update the article.

This poor studio, man. Just one thing after another. The war, hackers, a fire, numerous delays. I hope it all ends well for them when it releases.
