Rumblings of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 are back again, almost a year after GSC Game World re-announced the sequel to the much-beloved original. Not only has the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Twitter account posted new artwork and a promise to “share news and interesting content”, but the official site has been tweaked, as well.

Even the game’s Facebook page has gotten in on the fun. Of course, this all amounts to a new coat of paint on a barebones set of websites that are stating the same thing as they were a year ago.

Now, the cynical person would say that this is all due to the recent success of 4A Games’ Metro Exodus, and you may be right. Still, the chance to return to the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is too good to pass up. Hopefully, the next time we hear from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, it’ll have more than an update to its website.
