Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is scheduled to be released on November 20, 2024, and in the months following its release, the developers behind the game have given us a deep dive into the making of the game.
The developer deep dive documentary talks about all the things that went into the making of the game and how it is such an important endeavor taken up by the Ukrainian developer GSC Game World.
Developers Give Deep Insights On Stalker 2
Stalker, in the game, is a term used to describe the bounty hunters that delve deep in to the zone. The inspiration for the concept of a designated zone with supernatural occurrences could be traced back to Andrei Tarkovsky’s critically acclaimed film of the same name, Stalker.
The developer’s deep dive offers an in-depth account of many things in the game, as well as what went into making it and the philosophies that the game aims to touch upon.
The documentary was released yesterday on Xbox’s official Youtube channel and features many important people involved in the game.
The game was the most challenging endeavor taken up by a Ukrainian developer. Maria Grygorovych, the creative director of the game, talked about this aspect in detail. She said:
We have taken one of the most challenging projects in the history of Ukrainian game development.
Levgen Grygorovych, the game director of Stalker 2, also talked about the novelty and uniqueness of the game. He stressed the details that set the game apart from any other game of the same genre. He said:
It cannot be compared to any other game, because there is no such other game.
He also talked about the difficulties involved during the development process of the game. He said:
Even if all the complications never happened, starting and finishing this project still would have been a fantastic achievement. But now, considering these challenges, I think we are superheroes.
Overall, the deep dive gives a pretty good sense of what the game will be like come launch.
The Developer Deep Dive is a Must-Watch for Any Fan
This documentary about the making of Stalker 2 is a must-watch for any fan of the game waiting to learn more about the game that is going to be released in a couple of months.
It should be a great relief for the developers, as releasing his behind-the-scenes footage with interviews and walkthroughs of several missions has managed to generate much-needed hype just a couple months before release.
It is also fair to say that the documentary does justice to the making of the game and dives really deep into most aspects of the game. Perhaps the studio could even release a few shorts beforehand to give a better understanding of the world to the fans.
It has only been a day since it was released and has already managed to reach a wide array of people, with many more on the way. What are your opinions on it? Watch it and let us know in the comments below.
