Xbox and the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World have announced the release of a documentary about the development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl in the midst of war.
It was reported by Variety.
Before the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, GSC Game World was based in Kyiv. Subsequently, the team was forced to move to Prague to complete the game for its scheduled release in November this year. The documentary titled War Game: The Making of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will show personal stories of developers who worked in the war zone and experienced the studio’s relocation to another country.
The film is directed by Andrew Stephan, known for his work on the documentary series Power On: The Story of Xbox. The film will focus on the personal stories of creative director Maria Grygorovych and her team working in the war.
“It was not my dream to make this movie. But I really think it’s important to share. We are not really public people, it is difficult for us to share something personal. But we thought it was important to share a little bit more with the world about how hard it is to live during the war,” said Grigorovich.
The film is expected to be released on October 3 on Xbox.
