Ina blog post, GSC Game World explain that we’ll again be romping around an irradiated wasteland full of mutants and spooky energy. “This is our most immersive world yet, and we are crafting it with the love and passion this setting deserves,” they say.

They also talk about having “reimagined” the A-Life system which gave NPC people and creatures little lives of their own to live, saying that the new A-Life 2.0 “will control the state of the world and the behaviour of characters and mutants, making the Zone ever-changing and truly alive.” And they claim they’ll have short-term consequences to your actions as well as more dramatic ones through a branching story with “lots of different endings.” Which yup, that all sounds like Stalker.

No firm word yet on when it’s coming, but today’s announcement did confirm it will be on Xbox Series X too.
