The developer officially announced that he has finally severed ties with his former company and the famous Chernobyl Exclusion Zone franchise to fully focus on creating a completely new revolutionary project.
The founder of the GSC Game World studio and the "father" of the cult STALKER gaming universe, Serhiy Grigorovich, announced that from now on he is fully focused on creating a completely new revolutionary project.
"I'm not one of those who lives in the past. My creative energy, my drive, and my experience no longer belong to the Zone. I'm leaving the game. To start a new one," Grigorovich wrote on his social networks.
According to Grigorovich, the past was great and he respects it, but its creative energy and drive no longer belong to the Zone.
As a reminder, Serhiy Grigorovich announced his next project, which was called STRANGER Bermuda SOS. The author promises to invest all his passion, which has been waiting for its time for years, into the new project, and to play a "new melody" that will once again change the rules of the game in the industry.
As the creator of the legendary series himself notes, gamers are in for a truly enchanting spectacle. "It will be a challenge, it will be a shock, it will be art that will immerse you in an unknown and mysterious world. Leave the past in the past. Only the future lies ahead. And it will be amazing," Grigorovich summed up, urging fans to stay tuned for updates.
Recall that in 2024, Ukrainian businessman Maksym Krippa, who owns the NAVI esports team and the Maincast company, told how he became the owner of the GSC Game World studio . According to him, GSC founder Serhiy Grigorovich is no longer a shareholder, but will receive a percentage of STALKER 2 sales.
The collaboration with Maksym Krippa began back in 2020, but the Grigorovichs still run the studio. GSC Game World commented on the change of ownership
"So as not to disgrace my name, my children, my parents." The founder of the STALKER development company will give his Rolls-Royce worth $300,000-$500,000 to the daredevil who destroys the Russian frigate "Admiral Grigorovich"
