When the news that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. developer GSC would be closing their doors, a sad veil had fallen over the community. The developer seemed to be having some company issues which left the future of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 hanging in the balance. After a rough couple of weeks, some good news has finally made it to the surface on where the game could be headed.
RockPaperShotgun recently reported that GSC posted a tweet on their Twitter feed that could give some light to the situation. The tweet wasn’t much, saying, “there is cause for hope,” but for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, this means a lot. There wasn’t much else posted on the feed, but we know that we’ll hear more news sometime next month.
We don’t know what this little announcement means exactly, and the window for speculations is left wide open. Will this mean that the game is being handled by another studio? Has some new lump of investment money come in to save the day? Have fans started some “Save S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2” fund? We’ll have to wait and see.
