According to Russian reports, STALKER creator and GSC boss Sergei Grigorovich has issued a statement revealing that the reason his team couldn’t get the rights to the STALKER series in order to make a sequel — as only briefly alluded to earlier today — was because those rights have been sold to Bethesda.
So, we’ve had S.T.A.L.K.E.R., we’ve had S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, and now we’ve got S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. Won’t running around the same place for a third time seem a little, well, boring?
Blues News has spotted an interview on a Russian web site that reveals plans for not only a second S.T.A.L.K.E.R. expansion, but for a full-blown sequel as well.
When STALKER emerged from development hell in 2007, the final product met with an unexpectedly positive reception. For those more interested in a slice of that development hell, though, developers GSC have you covered.
