How the developers of Stalker 2 weathered the Ukraine war to make their game | The DeanBeat

If anyone can say they have had challenges making a game, the team making S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: The Heart of Chornobyl can make that claim. And if it ships the game to consumers on November 20, that will be a victory in itself.

Yet the developers of GSC Game World in Kyiv, Ukraine want to ship this game to show that they never gave up on a project that has been going in full gear for nearly seven years and talked about even longer. They have not given up even though the team was disrupted when Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale war on February 24, 2022. Russia had attacked before in 2014, seizing a couple of territories. But this was a war for control of all of Ukraine, and the war continues to this day.
