"Through pain, death, war, fear, and inhuman cruelty, Ukraine will persevere as it always does..."
Dedicated to all those who have defended and are defending Ukraine. To all those who made this day possible. Eternal memory to all those who were taken by this war.
—GSC Game World Team
The release of the sequel to the 2007 cult classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R is now live. The devs, GSC Game World Team, released a brief heartfelt statement in recognition of what it took to make this game under wartime conditions. Several members of the dev team are currently in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and two have unfortunately died in battle.
One dev, Volodymyr Yezhov, was killed fighting russian forces near Bakhmut. He left behind a brother, Viacheslav Yezhov, who remembers him saying, "Ukraine’s fight today is forging a brighter future for our children."
For the entire dev team, this game is their "love letter to Ukraine". Consider getting a copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: The Heart of Chornobyl to support the devs and to support Ukraine.
To read more about the struggles the dev team faced in the making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, United 24 has an article that details the challenges they faced.
