Stay out

What to expect in 2015?

Hello everyone. This is not the announcement of the next update, but rather the opposite - an attempt to look a little further, to lift the veil of secrecy over what awaits players in the foreseeable future (to be honest, probably it's not close enougth as you want).

For any fan of the post apocalypse Pripyat is a well-known place (here is some wiki information if you haven't heard about it before). Your attitude to this place can be different, but every year it draws people as a magnet from all over the world. We hope that you will visit it. Virtually. In the Stalker Online game.

We have already informed the players that are working on several new locations, one of which is Pripyat. But it is better to see once than hear a hundred times. Therefore let us present to you the video that shows a part of this location, as well as a small bonus - a new character, whitch is also preparing to release.

And now a little more about what you saw. Pripyat location is the most similar to the real Pripyat. This is not an adaptation, it hasn't been simplified... It's almost real. It would be huge, so you'll definitely find something what to do there.

In this video you can see the new character. Of course, this is not the final version, but some animations and other details demonstrate the quality.

We hope that posts like this help the community to rejoice with us every step, instill confidence in developers. We want to do the best for you. Don't hesitate to discuss what you've seen or just to say thanks on forum. Thank you for being with us.
