S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is still in development, GSC Game World announced via the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Facebook page, writing, "The Stalker team is extremely happy! Why? Because we are continuing work on Stalker 2 after the holidays." GSC is celebrating, for now -- spokesperson Oleg Yavorsky said GSC is still seeking funding to support S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, according to a statement published by Edge.
"We are hopeful things turn out well eventually," Yavorsky said. "The team really wants to see S.T.A.L.K.E.R. continue."
In December, GSC responded to rumors that it would be shut down, saying that there was cause for hope and to await news in January. Things seem to be going well at the moment, but we have contacted GSC for clarification on its financial situation and the continued development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

You know, if they were to put up a Kickstarter page to gather funding, I'd drop $50 up front for the game.

@Dale P
But the problem with that idea is... if, for some reason, the game isn't completed... everyone, including yourself, would want their money back. Also, it's likely the money collected would be used in the development of the game and wouldn't count in any profits from game sales.

@SBMfromLA I would want my money to go to the development of the game and I wouldn't expect it back if they went under.

@Cafecito It is, or at least it was planned to be multiplatform.

I love this series. Still haven't beat the two expansions though. I hope they get the funds they need or just get some free volunteers from the modding community to help.

Fates be praised this is still happening! I hope they manage to get funding to keep this project going because I'm rather enjoying the first game now.

Their always funding from any of the big 3, it's just a matter of how much crap are you willing to endure.

I wonder if it's still going to come to consoles, or at least 360 since that's easier to develop for, plus they've had the rights to develop S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on the 360 since 2007...Hope they land a publishing deal, even if the one of the big guys like EA or TakeTwo don't take a chance, I would thing maybe a smaller publisher would be willing to take it on due to the popularity of post-apocalyptic franchises and the potential of the IP...I'm thinking if it does come to consoles it will launch with the next-gen consoles...so for now it's just hope that I can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on my NextBox, or else I'll just have to pony up the cash for a beast gaming rig if it doesn't...
