I've been down n' dirty digging up stuff. I found this on a Russian S.T.A.L.K.E.R website, it's a rough translation and some phrases might not makes sense at first but bear with it.
"Recently walked in the network information about S.T.A.L.K.E.R 3: Apocalyptic, but it was not true, because the network has passed under the bridge this information for future projects in the universe S.T.A.L.K.E.R GSC had planned to publish a big announcement on 18 March, but some information was stolen.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Echo - the first sequel of the game (Clear Sky was the only addons). The game take place one year after the end of the first part of the game. Once the middle of the zone turn bright violet light, which rushed into the sky and then exploded in the sky. During the week in world exploded 40% of nuclear power plants. And Zaporizhia nuclear power plant exploded in the region which will effect the game. The zone moves in Zaporozhye.
«Nuclear Power Plant, we moved closer to the city to play locations were not only in forests and around nuclear power plants, but also in the beautiful city of Zaporozhye. We decided not to create an accurate copy of the city, as do locations of the first geymdizaynom. But the people there are in Zaporozhie will see many familiar places (including the island Khortitsa) »
The game will be played on CryEngine 2
«For some time we have developed a sequel to a modified version of the engine first S.T.A.L.K.E.R (which we are now doing Flashback), but when they tried to CryEngine 2, then realized that our engine with nesravnim. Thanks CryEngine 2, we were able to add cars to the game, improve productivity and quality graphics. By the way it is moving on CryEngine 2 has caused the change of Chernobyl on Zaporizhzhia. Our early development sequel occurred in Chernobyl, but since the change of engine number of the work to shift locations and the establishment of new locations were approximately equal, we have decided to create a completely new map that benefited the game. Source is now a much more beautiful and more interesting »
"Style S.T.A.L.K.E.R had changed. The new part of the new colors, new design. We have to employ some S.T.A.L.K.E.R fans, who inspired us to fanartom. Authorship art for the cover of Echo belongs to one of them"
Plot the game will be much more complex and more nuanced. We can choose one of four characters (from a choice of character does not change the plot, but each has some unique quests). We along with the group «New Sich» clear native Zaporizhya from robbers and soldiers who crowded around the explosion. Soon it turns out that they are not simply in search of valuable artifacts, and that is in your hands is not only the fate of Zaporozhye, but also the lives of people throughout Europe.
Date game has not yet been determined.
«It all depends on how to cope with S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Flashback our console division. If they release a game in summer and help us finish Echo, it is likely to release a game in December. Otherwise will have to wait until the spring »
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Flashback
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Flashback is a console port of the first part of game consoles Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP. It will bring together the first part and the Clear Sky.
«Flashback Edition Xbox 360 and PS3 versions being developed for improved engine first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We combined the first two parts and added a new chapter that will make one single uninterrupted history. Graphics will be markedly improved, we have transformed 60% and 40% of texture models. It added several new locations. All innovations Clear Sky (eg war groups) are added and the gameplay of the games created after the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Completely redesigned multripleer added achievement system, a new system of conservation, added avtopritsel. Most of the work already done, the version for Xbox 360 is almost ready, but we are constrained to the PS3 version which has severe problems with performance. We hope to release in August this year »
«Games for the PSP version is created at the engine RenderWare. Unfortunately, because of the console output we had to abandon the free movement around the world. Flashback Edition PSP linear, but there is a great RPG system. For the convenience of management, we made a cell from a third party. The game is almost ready, we catch the last buggy. The release was appointed on 28 May this year »."

If anything it looks like a roadmap the GSC has laid out. Nothing that they've actually done yet. The CryEngine part is especially interesting. If you say it would look weird running on CE2 I will punch your family in the face, the look of graphics is not appended to the engine, more so, the artist at GSC.
Again, don't take any of this as real, they are just rumors. Who knows how they started or where the info came from. You can only hope right now.
