GSC Game World presented a brand new Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl trailer, which introduced us to... dozens of shades of darkness. Literally. And that’s about it.
GSC Game World uploaded brand new trailer to their troubled production of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. After about 3 years of development you would expect something spectacular to keep the attention of the audience, but... nope!
The almost 3-minutes long trailer offers some narration, some pre-rendered scenes of truck driving through a darkness and... not much more. As a person, who actually was looking forward to return of the series, I’m really getting tired of the "news" and "updates" about Stalker 2 that contain nothing substantial.
Yes, the war in Ukraine put a lot of people in front of situations noone would like to face, like fear of death, fear your loved ones are at danger, the world we knew is gone, but really this is getting ridiculous. GSC Game World had to move their staff out of Ukraine, the production was disrupted, there are more important things in the world than a game, but really, this is the best moment to put up some nothing-burger just to announce that the production will be delayed again?
The concept art is cute, the pre-rendered scenes are cute, but unless you can actually show ANY in-game footage, ANY in-game screenshots, stop wasting time on marketing BS. Situation in Ukraine is dramatic, your employees had to flee their homeland, GSC Game World, does this really help anyone? Another pre-rendered scene that shows nothing from a game you already started to sell last year...

5 reasons Stalker 2 failed
Six months since the premiere of Stalker 2, the title dropped to about 6,000 users in weekly peaks, which means about 4% of those who played the game in November still roam the Zone, which is not a great success. Here are 5 reasons the game failed, and none of them has anything to do with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Bethesda, Bethesda never changes
The next-gen update to Fallout 4 that was linked to the premiere of the Fallout TV series was quite a surprise for the players. I mean, Bethesda does not have a great track record when it comes to fixing or improving their titles after they are published. But as they say in the gaming universe, "Bethesda, Bethesda never changes".
