Reporting. Our team is dedicated to providing a smoother gaming experience, and we prioritize feedback from our community. We expect to roll out regular updates to address these technical challenges, and we appreciate the patience of our players as we work through them.
Welcome to our exclusive interview with GSC Game World, the developers behind the highly anticipated game, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. We have two special guests joining us today: Sergiy Grygorovych, CEO of the studio, and Viktor Morozov, Game Director. Thank you both for taking the time to speak with us about the game’s release and the ongoing issues being addressed by your team.
To start off, can you provide some insights into the decision to change the game’s subtitle to “Heart of Chornobyl” and how this shift reflects the team’s commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine? Additionally, how did this affect the game’s development process, and what were some of the challenges you faced during production?
Sergiy Grygorovych: Thank you for having us. The decision to change the subtitle was a difficult one, but it was important for us to show our support for Ukraine and remind people of the origin of the disaster that inspired the game. The team has faced many challenges, including the recent cyber attacks and the general instability in the region, but our commitment to creating a great game that honors the legacy of the original STALKER series has never wavered. We wanted to ensure that our work reflects the struggles and resilience of the Ukrainian people, and we believe that the new subtitle accomplishes this goal.
Viktor Morozov: As Sergiy mentioned, the change in subtitle was a way for us to express our solidarity with Ukraine. However, it also allowed us to refocus our narrative and emphasize the human element of the story. The Chornobyl disaster is not just an event in history; it affected real people who continue to struggle with its consequences. By shifting the perspective to the “Heart of Chornobyl,” we hope to bring that personal aspect of the story to the forefront and create a more emotional connection with our players.
