YouTube’s member ‘Antishnaps’ has shared a video interview with developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. During this interview, GSC GameWorld has revealed some new information about this game that a lot of PC gamers are looking forward to, even though there is no ETA as of yet (well, despite a vague 2021 target release window).
As GSC GameWorld confirmed, STALKER 2 will not feature any Battle Royale mode. While a lot of developers have implemented this type of multiplayer mode in their games, GSC GameWorld is not interested in it.
The main inspiration for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is the original trilogy (Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat) and its main feature will be its unique atmosphere. The developers aim to make a really atmospheric game, similar to what the original STALKER was when it came out.
Furthermore, the team targets the newest and the best technology available that will make the game look “really modern.” Unfortunately, GSC GameWorld has not revealed whether it will support Photogrammetry or Ray Tracing, however – and since the game is not coming out anytime soon – we can assume that both of them will be used.
GSC GameWorld is also working on making modding tools so that modders can start creating new content when the game comes out. As always, these tools may get delayed due to development pressure, however we can safely say that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be officially supporting mods.
Last but not least, GSC GameWorld has no plans for adding VR support in STALKER 2.

John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

cant wait!
GOTY
Pls dont f it up
overrated
Get out of here, Stalker.
Block the retrd do yourself a favor!
this might come before Star Citizen
It will, and you can bet on that.
YES! I can’t freaking wait!!!!
Should’ve asked them if it will ever become an Epic Store exclusive
If the publisher is Deep Silver then unfortunately it will be Epic Store Exclusive
Perhaps EGS wont even be around in 2021 when this game is expected 🙂
STALKER 2 for free sounds good to me!
Modding tools give me hope
I’m still expecting it to be inferior to the first game, it and all it’s assets only happened due to rare circumstances.
why ? The coders most likely love this franchise and know all the good mods out there – so I am hopeful it will be brilliant.
They might go for mass appeal, one never knows and I’ve been burned with promising sequels and games before.
Hope is the first step towards dissapointment.
Oh god no, not br here too, for fck sake!
edit: FCK me i didn’t read the article, but that was a pretty infamous clickbait. How could i think GSC would do battle royale, bad, bad me…
Got me too. I normally always read the articles, but that title scared the utter living sh*t out of my wee wittle mind.
STALKER 2 >>> Cyberpunk 2084 (2077)
Even their multiplayer portion of it, had a few rough edges but had an absolute ton of potential. Similar to CS in a few regards, but I loved the progression throughout a match.
Et tu GSC? Fooooockin BR? GD IT Whyyyyyyy?
EDIT:
“STALKER 2 will not feature any Battle Royale mode.”
That title got me too. Ok I admit it but dammit that scared the sh*t outta me! Come on John!
MFing Phewwww!
