"STALKER 2 Developer Overcomes Office Fire, Vows to Continue Working"

A fire has reportedly caused significant damage to the Prague offices of STALKER 2 developer GSC Game World, with the blaze affecting the floor hosting the studio's back-up servers. The fire, attributed to an electrical fault, led to the evacuation of 20 to 30 people and an estimated damage bill of $65,750. The impact on the development of STALKER 2 and potential data loss remains uncertain. GSC Game World recently relocated from Ukraine to the Czech Republic due to ongoing Russian aggression and had previously announced a delay in the game's release to early 2024.
