"1c Ukraine’s Sergey Galenkin has blogged about the closure of GSC. He states: “GSC is closed, a fact confirmed by all. The team is almost completely dissolved, the state has only a few people.” Galenkin blames the cost of developing a PC only shooter for a European audience, and a failed console publishing deal, for the collapse of the developer."

Apperantly there have been reports of the Ukraine goverment going after some shady buisnesses and it'ts believed that his might be linked to that. The founder is one of the richest in Ukraine so there is a lot of speculation about the closure, but it is confirmed he closed it for personal reasons.

My fellow stalkers. Do not throw away hope just yet.

The Stalker team continues work on the project and hopefully everything will turn out well. Good Hunting Stalkers!

Dear Stalkers: We will not be releasing any official news until around mid January. However there is cause for hope! Good hunting!

Metro 2034 probably won't be turned in to a game any time soon.
