A "Antishnaps" YouTube channel has released two parts of an interview with developers from GSC Game World. The authors shared details about the creation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and revealed some insights about the project's concept. According to them, the early announcement is made for active communication with fans. Company representatives stated: "The beginning of the second part of the franchise is a significant event; there is no reason to hide it from fans."
The developers mentioned in the interview: "We are confident in our project; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will become a top-tier AAA game." A record number of people are working on the continuation at GSC Game World, and they have also involved some modders who have made interesting works for the original trilogy. The authors highlight the quality of modifications like Dead Air, Lost Alpha DC, and "Spatial Anomaly." For the second part, fans will also be able to release their own materials, as they will be provided with special tools. The studio focuses on atmosphere and draws inspiration from 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 by their own means; they do not plan to launch a crowdfunding campaign. The authors currently have several ideas for the development of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, but it's too early to talk about 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 solved. The answer should be sought 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 proceeding according to plan — the project is expected to be released in 2021, as announced . The studio does not plan to disclose the target platforms yet.
