Stalker 2 can either stick to hardcore fans and be exactly like original titles or adapt to modern trends. Times change and we change with them - old rule that still perfectly defines the ways our world works. Now, 12 years later, it will be very, very hard to come up with anything original, that players have not seen before. Original Stalker games are so fondly remembered because of their unique approach to some themes, the elements that were involved and because all of it was so fresh and not seen before. Not to mention Chernobylite that used similar premise, although did not make much difference on the market. Even survival games, like The Forest, Scum, GTFO or The Mist made mixture of survival and horror with good atmosphere.
Games like Fallout 3, Fallout 4 or Far Cry 2 gave the similar feeling of being alone in the dangerous environment.
STALKER 2 TEETH SERIES
Metro series was sort-off spin-off made by developers involved in original Stalker, although the gameplay is completely different and story is very linear, they made three games that carried the atmosphere of original. Many people remember Stalker games and their atmosphere, but since 2009 there were many titles inspired by them or with similar motifs. If you wait for something 12 years it would have to be amazing to made up for the time you lost already. While most of the original Stalker fans are eager to jump into another title of the series, nostalgia will put their expectations high and that might lead to disappointment.

No, I’m lying, Clear Sky was rather poor, but Call of Pripyat and Shadow of Chernobyl are titles that I revisit from time to time. Although I am one of the people that absolutely loved every bit of Stalker games. I mean you just cannot prepare a AAA game in a single year, which suggests that they were working on it for some time. The surprising bit was that, comparing to infamous Cyberpunk 2077, developers kept that fact a secret. In 2020 surprising news hit the media that GSC Game World does actually work on Stalker 2, but also that it will premiere in 2021.
After Call of Pripyat in 2009 GSC Game World took a hiatus from series and concentrated on other projects, so Stalker 2 was pretty much abandoned.
Original Stalker games were something that left no one indifferent - most of the people that wandered into the Zone as GSC Game World made it, were left with great memories of tense atmosphere, eerie feeling with each step and very good mixture of horror, survival and FPS. And that makes me fear it will be a failure on premiere. 2) game, but it is scarce info to be honest. We just gained some details of the upcoming Stalker 2 (or rather S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
