Zakhar Bocharov, PR Specialist at GSC Game World shared a few words about the collaboration with Xbox and share the vision of the studio for making Stalker 2 a title that is both enjoyable for new players and the hardcore fans.
We sincerely hope you were both delighted and surprised during the Xbox Game Showcase, as that was the ultimate goal that we aimed for.
The debut trailer of Stalker 2 is out, and we are happy to share this moment with our players and fans all around the world. We sincerely hope you were both delighted and surprised during the Xbox Game Showcase, as that was the ultimate goal that we aimed for.
For those who don’t know, the Stalker series is based on the nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, in the game, that disaster was not the only one, a second explosion hit the reactor in2006, creating The Zone. The Stalker franchise is based about the Zone, a dangerous place, filled with mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy.
With Stalker 2, we are finally creating the thing we’ve wanted to make since the very beginning. For the first time in the series, the Zone will be yours to explore as a post-apocalyptic open-world — one of the biggest ones to date.
This is our most immersive world yet, and we are crafting it with the love and passion this setting deserves. Using our most advanced technology to date, the Zone has never been this gorgeous. And it’s yours to conquer — or to be lost in forever.
Stalker 2 will feature a living world simulating system enhanced of A-Life, the 2.0 version of the feature will control the state of the world, and the behavior of the characters and mutants. One of the visions of GSC Game World was to offer every player to have their unique playthrough, A-Life 2.0 will empower players to make the developers’ dream a reality. Decisions made by the player will not cause only short-term outcomes but will shape the world itself
We are crafting an epic, branching story culminating in lots of different endings. You’ll have to make tough choices regularly — and be brave enough to face the consequences. All of the things we are sharing today outline GSC’s biggest game so far. We are absolutely dedicated to this project and we are putting our hearts and souls in to shaping this ultimate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience.
Zakhar Bocharov finishes the official statement of GSC Game World by reassuring that Xbox Series X “makes a good match” for the studio’s ambitions, he also says that Xbox allowed developers to make no compromises. Stalker 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
