The Stalker series has always delighted in exploring the dark and decrepit locales of Eastern Europe, as well as showing the grit and determination of hunters struggling to survive. Unfortunately, the highly-anticipated Stalker 2 has been disrupted by the very real conflict in Ukraine, and now studio GSC Game World has spoken out about it.
The developer — which is based in Kyiv — announced in a video that development has been paused due to Russia sending "rockets, tanks, and soldiers" to its home country. The update also notes that the team had edited another video last week that showed off GSC Game World’s motion capture studio, and how the developers were capturing animations for the game. "Last week was ages ago," one of the captions on the video says.
