“A lot of you are joining social isolation now,” GSC said inan accompanying statement. “That’s why today, on a very special occasion, we are ready to slightly uncover the mystery of what we are working on.”

So why am I so sceptical? Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. not one ofthe best FPSes? It is! But the team who made S.T.A.L.K.E.R. shattered into a hundred pieces after GSC Game Worldshut down in all but name in 2011. They officially reopenedin 2014but since then have only released the RTSCossacks 3, which was really only a remake of 2001’sCossacks: European Wars. So many of the people who made S.T.A.L.K.E.R. what it was had to get new jobs in new places making new games and it’s not clear exactly who and what GSC have these days.

I would so very much like to be proven wrong here. GSC say they’ll have more to show later this year. For now, I’ll temper my expectations. And in the meantime, the fan-made sequel modS.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly might keep you busy and happy.
