    Stalker 2 is Officially Dead Again as Former GSC Vets form Vostok Games and new MMOFPS

    This story is more of an emotional rollercoaster than TV's worst planned dramas. GSC Game World veteran developers have parted ways from the company and have formed a new studio, Vostok Games.

    As such, they will be creating a new game called Survarium which is planned to be a "Stalker-like MMOFPS" that will be free-to-play. This also means that development on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is again completely frozen. The team said that funding is not an issue when it comes to Stalker 2, it's an issue of them not being able to secure the IP rights to the Stalker franchise.

    Survarium is a free2play MMOFPS game set in the near future. The game focuses on a mass-scale ecological catastrophe on Earth, the reasons behind vaguely known.

    Impassable woods advance onto cities from every side, maddened animals and birds attack industrial complexes, military structures, warehouses and power plants. Strange plants and mushrooms grow through concrete and steel. Scientists all over the world haplessly try to cope with the anomaly sprawling across the Earth with terrifying speed. Countries collapse, anarchy spreads throughout the world. Now force dictates who to survive.

    The game is developed with a new proprietary Vostok Engine technology and is planned for release on PC at the end of 2013.

    Twitter will be blowing up tomorrow as a live Q&A session with the fans will take place with Oleg Yavorsky and Joe Willburn. They will explain more details on what happened and what their plans are with Survarium.

    Before you go, be sure to meet the team at Vostok Games!

      Ballz...

      One more game to remove off my Pre-order list.

      Impassable woods advance onto cities from every side, maddened animals and birds attack industrial complexes, military structures, warehouses and power plants. Strange plants and mushrooms grow through concrete and steel. Scientists all over the world haplessly try to cope with the anomaly sprawling across the Earth with terrifying speed.

      I am Legend?!? -minus the mushrooms.

        Yeah, and going along with the I am Legend theme, I bet through the course of the game you discover that the "anomaly" spreading through the Earth is some mutated virus made by scientists, that they thought would cure cancer or prolong life, or something.
