However, GSC still appears to be alive and kicking wiggling its legs slightly, announcing via Twitter that "there is cause for hope!"

In the same tweet, GSC said it "will not be releasing any official news until around mid January," which suggests the studio will still be running in some capacity at least until then. GSC was developing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and we can only hope for some good news in January from the studio.

Clear Sky to North America]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/06/uk-pub-deep-silver-to-bring-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-clear-sky-to-north-am/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/06/uk-pub-deep-silver-to-bring-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-clear-sky-to-north-am/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/06/uk-pub-deep-silver-to-bring-s-t-a-l-k-e-r-clear-sky-to-north-am/#commentsFiled under: , , ,


With S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky shipping worldwide on August 29, Deep Silver has announced that it will handle publishing duties in North America for developer GSC Game World's upcoming prequel to 2007's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. We think it's particularly interesting that Deep Silver, a UK-based studio that only established a US footprint last month in Los Angeles, has been trusted to steer the game's North American debut instead of THQ, which handled the original game's release last year.

As the latest in GSC's considerable plans for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, the game promises a "what-if" look at the events leading up to last year's FPS/RPG hybrid, and according to Deep Silver was "created as a warning to mankind against mindless play with technologies" -- especially, we assume, any tech that can give rise to hordes of radioactive beasties.
