GSC Game World Clarifies A-Life 2.0 Removal and STALKER 2 Enhancements
GSC Game World's CEO, Ievgen Grygorovych, explained that the anticipated A-Life 2.0 feature in STALKER 2 was omitted due to optimization challenges and bugs, such as NPCs spawning incorrectly. The system requires more resources than initially planned, leading to its current 'very broken' state. The removal of A-Life 2.0 references from Steam was attributed to a marketing error, and the team is working to stabilize and eventually deliver the promised feature.
