The studio behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise is facing closure, according to internet reports. The company was busy working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, but it seems as if the game – due in 2012 – will now not be completed, unless it is bought by another developer,
"We will do our best to continue," the studio said on its Twitter account. "However, at this moment, nothing is certain."
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R games received good reviews and boasted solid sales, but long development times have cut into the developer’s budget in a big way.
