Great news for 2 reasons.
1. I was really looking forward to this game this game and with this move we should eventually still be able to play it.
2. With this move it means the devs and their families should be safe from the asshole Russian invasion.
 
Prag is beautiful. Great, cheap beer, great people. Just don't fall for the hookers. If you've never been approached by a 9/10 woman before, and you're in Prag and suddenly it starts happening, chances are she's a hooker.

hmm, not a fan of the beer but it is cheap. also sadly being brown and having a big beard at the time, i definitely was getting some weird looks from the security guards at the castle (not an uncommon problem but might just be used to the diversity of london). generally the people were nice though.

quite good food choice for a vegetarian.

Sex with Hookers have the least chance of facing sexual accusations in the future though, that’s a big plus for the gaming field right now.

I hope they all manage to make the move safely with their families.

I am really looking forward to this game. If they can survive a disruption like this and still deliver they will be real heroes.

this is awesome, would love to know the logistics how something like this would even work, moving a company from one country to another during a war

Their safety is paramount of course, but it's great that they're able to continue development in spite of the awful circumstances.
Well, about that...

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.
