GSC Game World, the development team behind STALKER 2 — 2024's popular Xbox and PC sequel to the studio's trilogy of open-world survival-horror shooters from the late 2000s — has collaborated with the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine to warn children and teenagers of the dangers of landmines in the country.
As the studio notes in its blog post, roughly 23% of Ukraine's land is considered "potentially dangerous and requires demining" due to explosives laid during Russia's ongoing invasion. In a separate press release seen by Windows Central, it's explained that the region is "one of the most mine-contaminated countries in the world," and that teenagers aged 14-17 are one of the groups most at-risk of mine-related injuries or deaths.
