The founder of the GSC Game World studio, Serhii Hryhorovych, published a statement in which he said that he no longer has any involvement with GSC or the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. He is now focused on his new game — S.T.R.A.N.G.E.R. Bermuda SOS.

“The era of the Zone is officially over. It’s time for new music. Many of you know me, Serhii Hryhorovych, as the founder of GSC Game World and the ‘father’ of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe. It was a great past that I respect, but the Zone has remained in history. Today I declare: I no longer have any connection to GSC or the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. projects.

I am not one of those who lives in the past. My creative energy, my drive, and my experience no longer belong to the Zone. I am leaving the game. To start a new one.

In this image, there is a symbol of what is happening. Even in the most difficult, ‘apocalyptic’ times, true creativity does not die. I am ready to play a new melody. A melody that will once again change the rules of the game. I am ready to present to you my new, revolutionary project: S.T.R.A.N.G.E.R. Bermuda SOS.

I am putting into it all the passion that has been waiting for its time for years. I know that fans are waiting for something truly spectacular. And I will not let you down.

It will be a challenge, it will be a shock, it will be art that will immerse you in an unknown and mysterious world. Leave the past in the past. From here on, only the future. And it will be impressive. Stay tuned for updates. The legend returns.”

Recall that Slay the Spire 2 surpassed 5 million copies sold and topped the March Steam chart.
