GSC Game World Says STALKER 2 Will Avoid Any Political Topics

Disagreements and military conflicts have long existed between Ukraine and Russia, so it is quite reasonable for players to ask whether this will affect the long-awaited continuation of the beloved series.

This question was asked by one of the users on the official GSC Game World Discord server:

Hello dear GSCs. My question is: will Stalker remain the same apolitical game? I would not like to see political agendas. Hidden or direct.

One of the community managers replied that the game will remain apolitical:

Hello! Our game universe is fictional, so no political events from our world will be present in the game, as before.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl will be released on April 28, 2022 for PC and Xbox Series X|S (also available via Xbox Game Pass subscription from the day of release).
