The company’s COO and creative director, Maria Grigorovich, hinted that after the success of STALKER 2, opportunities arose at the GSC Game World studio not only to create additions to the game, but also something more.
She spoke about this at the «Exporters Summit 2025» by Forbes Ukraine, the publication reports.
«After the success, we now have a lot of opportunities to do more. Maybe it will be not only STALKER, but something more», — said Grigorovich.
She added that it was about additions to the game and «expanding into other formats altogether», but did not go into details.
«Using games as art to showcase Ukrainian culture to the world seems to me to be the foundation of our identity as a company», — said the creative director of GSC Game World.
Although GSC is best known for the STALKER series of shooters, these are not the only games in the company’s portfolio. Another famous franchise of the studio is Cossacks — historical real-time strategies dedicated to the wars of the 17th-18th centuries in Europe.
The last part — «Cossacks 3» — is a remake of the first game in the series «Cossacks: European Wars» from 2001. This is the first project of the renewed GSC Game World, which was released under the leadership of Yevhen Grigorovich.
In an interview at the end of January, GSC Game World founder Serhiy Grigorovich mentioned the difficulties with the rights to the «Kozaky» brand. «I have some minor legal problems there now… They’ve squeezed [the rights to the brand] a little bit…», — he said in a video for the Youtube channel «Pryama Chervona».
Another GSC Game World game that players often mention is Heroes of Fallen Empires, which combines the RTS and RPG genres. It was intended as a trilogy, but due to modest sales, it did not receive a sequel, despite good reviews from critics.
