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.

STALKER 2 Faces A-Life System Challenges Amid Optimization Efforts

The developers of Stalker 2, GSC Game World, have revealed that aggressive optimization efforts prior to the game's release broke the A-Life AI system, a key feature that was heavily advertised. This optimization led to numerous bugs, including AI spawning issues, which were not fixed before launch. The developers have committed to addressing these problems in future updates by allocating more resources to the A-Life system. The removal of A-Life mentions from the game's Steam page was a marketing decision unrelated to the system's broken state.
