GSC Game World addressed video game fans this week with an unyielding message as developers and their families are caught amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Aside from giving fans an update on their situation, the Kyiv-based studio vowed to continue working on “STALKER 2” “after the victory.”
The developer noted that they used to get the same question about seeing a new gameplay trailer of “STALKER 2.” “Now we hear «Are you guys okay?» more and more,” GSC Game World wrote.
The new video is titled “Lights! Camera! War…” and runs for a minute and 29 seconds. GSC Game World said they were working on releasing the behind-the-scenes look at their motion capture studio in the previous week. The developer intended to give fans a glimpse of how they film the cutscenes and other processes, such as writing scripts and communicating with motion-capture actors.
“The previous week was ages ago,” GSC Game World said. “On the 24th of February, Russia declared war on Ukraine and sent rockets, tanks and soldiers to our homeland. Our country is forced to fight for existence again. Seems like this is the price of freedom.”
The developer added that they decided to release the new video as a response to concerned fans asking how they are doing. For very understandable reasons, GSC Game World said the development of “STALKER 2” has been sidelined for now.
The studio said they are now “striving to help our employees and their families to survive.” The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that the number of refugees that had fled Ukraine has reached one million as of Wednesday, March 2.
GSC Game World is optimistic, though, about the future of its project and of Ukraine. “But we will definitely continue. After the victory,” the studio added.
While the video is not the behind-the-scenes content GSC Game World was originally planning to release, it starts with some footage showing how the cutscenes are being filmed. But the majority of the video shows clips of the ongoing conflict, showing bomb shelling and missile strikes.
