WHAT?!?

Ok hasn't this happened before and nothing came of it? (Or am I mixing this up with something else?)

Edit: where is the 2021 date coming from?

considering the absolute journey that was the first game, i am not really optimistic. But the fact that a piece of history will be coming back is like half life 3, ICO, Shenmue 3 and FF7 being announced. you just want to see it so bad regardless of how it turns out.

Personally though, this will likely be PC only so i will make due with Metro 3

Shadow of Chernobyl was one of the most ambitious games ever made. And it was in development hell for many years too.

They can take their sweet time with this. It probably won't come out until like 2024 or later tho. Just make it good.

Wasn't GSC making STALKER 2 way back when, and then it got canned in favour of some MMO-style shooter? Maybe I'm mixing up studios.

Either way, I don't really feel too optimistic about this. We'll see in 2021.
Yeah it got canned
And now it's back
Let's hope it doesn't happen again

2021?

I mean, I guess that's good news for fans and all but why announce 3 years ahead of release?

Nice. Hopefully as good as the first and the third, but without the bugs at launch.
One of the best games ever.

This is probably the biggest possible sequel announcement for me. I am so keen for this that words fail me!

GSC devs bailed and formed 4A Games (Metro), Vostok Games (Survarium) and some stayed behind. I am really skeptical they can recapture the magic of the first games, but god damn I am happy for them to try!

They really need to make sure they keep the focus on what made the original so great (AI, unpredictability, atmosphere). Honestly, I'd feel better about this if it remains PC exclusive so they're not tempted to streamline things too much.

I wonder if any of the design work from the previous STALKER 2 will be used?

Wait, so who is this new GSC Gameworld team? Didn't they shut down mid-STALKER 2 version 1 development with the majority of them going to form Vostok which made Survarium? How many STALKER seniors are on staff?

I HAVE QUESTIONS
