The YouTube channel "Antishnaps" has released two parts of an interview with developers from GSC Game World. The creators shared details about the making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and discussed the project's concept a bit. According to them, the early announcement is made for active communication with fans. Company representatives stated: "The beginning of the creation of the second part of the franchise is a significant event, and there is no reason to hide it from fans."
The developers stated in the interview: "We are confident in our project, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be a top-tier AAA game." A record number of people are working on the continuation at GSC Game World, and some modders, known for their interesting works for the original trilogy, have also been involved in the process. The authors noted the quality of the modifications Dead Air, Lost Alpha DC, and "Spatial Anomaly." For the second part, fans will also be able to release their own materials, and they will be provided with special tools. The studio emphasizes atmosphere and is inspired by the original games in the series. To create the right mood in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the developers have repeatedly visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
GSC Game World will release the sequel independently, with no crowdfunding campaign planned. The authors currently have several ideas for the development of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, but it is too early to discuss them. There will be no battle royale in the continuation, and support for virtual reality is also not being considered.
Previously, the developers published the second cipher for the game, which has not yet been deciphered. The answer can be found on the official website, and fans will not be hurried in this matter. GSC Game World also stated that the creation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is progressing according to plan — the project will be released in 2021, as announced. The studio has not yet announced the target platforms.
