GSC Game World Releases Documentary on Stalker 2's Development Amid Ukraine Conflict

The documentary highlights the challenges faced by developers working during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, showcasing their resilience and dedication.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has faced numerous delays due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, initially planned for a 2022 release but now set for November 20, 2024.
GSC Game World evacuated over 180 employees to safety in Prague, while 139 developers stayed in Ukraine to assist in the war effort.
The documentary, co-produced with Xbox, provides an emotional insight into the developers' experiences, including displacement and personal loss.
Stalker 2 has become a symbol of cultural resistance, with the developers removing Russian language options and refusing to release the game in Russia.
Despite the challenges, GSC Game World persevered, rebuilding their studio and continuing development to honor colleagues who have died in the conflict.
