After six years of radio silence, it's understandable why fans of the survival horror franchise might have given up on the sequel. To put things into perspective, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was first announced in 2010, so it's certainly been a long development voyage. However, a new website linked in the Facebook post suggests development has resumed, and that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 diehards may be able to get their fix sometime in 2021. No screenshots, gameplay details or supported platforms are listed -- in fact it's currently just a static image of the game's title -- although this will likely be the place where more concrete information pops up in the future.

Up until now, GSC has busied itself with Cossacks 3, a remake of the 2001 real-time strategy game Cossacks 3: European War. And while GSC's RTS pedigree is impressive, there's little doubt S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans will be happy to see the studio refocus on the popular franchise.
