We know many games in the gaming community that have had a painful development process, but Stalker 2 is truly another matter. The development process, which was disrupted primarily by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was further undermined by a recent incident.
A fire broke out at the offices of Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World
As shared on Twitter by renowned gaming reporter HazzadorGamin, a floor of the Stalker 2 developer office appeared on Thursday. due to fire was damaged. While no one was harmed in the fire, repairs were made for $70,000 (1,881,180 TL) is estimated to cost as much.
According to the report, the fire occurred near the game’s backup servers, but it is unclear at this time if any data was lost. One of the game’s developers wrote on the studio’s Discord channel: “That’s right, there was a fire. “Fortunately, no employees or office staff were injured in the accident.”
He then continued as follows: “No anomaly, not even a ‘Burner’ (a reference to the Stalker universe), can stop us in our pursuit of our ultimate goal. We’ve dealt with worse than this before. We would get over it.”
The game’s release date has remained uncertain since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year. At that time GSC Game World was located in Kiev, but has since partially moved to the Czech Republic.
However, not all employees were able to leave Ukraine, and some developers continued to work on the game from the war-torn country where their lives were disrupted.
Other GSC Game World employees have also joined volunteer work in Ukraine or the country’s armed forces; These included several employees featured in a development log published last June that showed how the war had affected the team and their work.
