QuoteUPDATE 1: GSC has deleted its Twitter denial of Stalker 2's cancellation.

Rumors everywhere. But given the amount of stories floating around on various websites, it still looks pretty bleak.
Regardless, my money's on it's closed.

UPDATE: It turns out that Dmitri Bourkovski, who earlier "confirmed" the closure of GSC on Twitter, doesn't actually work for GSC Game World at all; his Linkedin profile lists him as the "Head of Publishing, Games Division" at Mail.ru. He also told Beefjack that he has "no connection" with the project and was only tweeting about what he'd heard. An interesting twist! We're waiting for an official response to our inquiries from GSC and will update again when we hear more.


*Another site*


So enjoy your 'closure' from someone who's not even an employee.

Still curious where that concept art came from.

I'm going to take it all with a grain of salt until GSC says otherwise, or something is positivly done to prove it. FOr all we know they're laughing their asses off, and deleted the twitter post to keep rumours going for their enjoyment. The website is still live, ten hours ago they posted a new poll for the game, and there's yet to be any real shut down. All this information is coming from people who claim to be good friends with employees, but arn't actually tied to the company itself.

And is concept art a tell-tale of a company closing? When did concept art move from being teasers for the players to the death note of a company?

In case there was any doubt, the CEO made it clear about an hour or two ago that the company has shut down.

Except it's now being said GSC has merged with another company and has a new office, or something along those lines. I don't speak Russian, and rely on google translator.

GSC were building a new office and a new dev moved into their old one.
Just media over exaggerating everything as usually, the moral of the story is that we shouldn't trust ukrainian news or random people that claim to know/work in a game company.

SO, lets just say that GSC shutting down was bullshit.

This, Ukraine is going through extremely corrupt times and are having an economic crisis. It is normal in the Ukraine for Ukrainian media outlets to make news up so they can still keep making money.
