The GSC Game World studio suffered a fire that destroyed one of the floors used by the company. The authors of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl from the studio GSC Game World moved largely to Prague after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

According to our information, there was a fire in the team offices last night.We received the report from two independent trusted sources who wish to remain anonymous.An electrical installation fire broke out in a high-rise building in Na Pankráci Street. Five fire units responded to the scene. Several dozen people were evacuated. According to the Prague municipality website, there were 30 people, according to the Požary.cz website, 20 people.

Fortunately, there were no injuries in the fire and the damage was tentatively estimated at 1.5 million crowns. One of the three floors of the GSC Game World studio was said to have been affected by the fire. We have a photo from the scene which indicates that the fire devastated the office equipment and the interior itself. However, we cannot publish it.

It was said to be the most important floor with backup servers.The other two were not affected by the fire. We have no information at this time as to whether this event may affect the completion of the game in any way. We are investigating further details. If we learn something new, we will update the article.

I could swear that folks were actually claiming that UE5 will be easier on modding support than 4?
In any case, blaming the engine might be an excuse for building your game with modding in mind. Doesn't mean that we ought conclude anything about Stalker 2's moddability.

My only concern is potentially not having low level access to the game's systems which would suck if modders had to fix A-Life 2.0 for example. A lot of the things modders have spent their efforts in building within Open X-Ray are native to Unreal 5 so modders can focus on making cool shit instead of fixing technical issues and such. Adding new weapons and enemy types and rebalancing things should be a piece of cake assuming they distribute their tools to a degree of acceptable openness.

Even if they don't deliver, unofficial UE modding is so trivial these days I doubt there's anything out of reach for a community like the STALKER series.

GOTHIC REMAKE: DEVELOPERS WANT TO GIVE MODERS SUPPORT, BUT THE ENGINE MAY NOT ALLOW Alkimia Interactive would like to provide modders support in Gothic Remake, but Unreal Engine 5 restrictions may get in the way. The creators don't want to promise anything.

Most likely same will happen with stalker 2. What you see is what you will get, don't get your hopes up for mods fixing it.
Give us mod support for the original Gothic. PB confirmed they have the source code to the original/2 still with that patch for the Switch release, and have been clear in the past that it was an entirely in house product.

I just wonder how they will handle the military faction. My understanding is that Ukrainian military was not widely beloved by the populace at the time SoC was made (I just know someone will correct me if I'm wrong), hence them being enemy faction in SoC and portrayed as heavily corrupt. Although I guess this had already started to shift by CoP, where you play as a military member. I do hope Stalker 2 doesn't incorporate current events too heavily, it would strain versimilitude if the ingame factions get reduced to good UKR army and evil RU army.
Need to paint Ukraine army as a hero and Russian invasion into the game
But this is what we'll probably get.

I would be deeply disapointed if the game doesnt have at least a few missions in which you fight rusnigger troops as they try to take over the Zone or something tbh fam.
Eh, it is natural for Stalkers to fight with the military, regardless of what kind of military that would be.
