The "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." franchise brought the world one of the most fascinating first-person survival-horror shooter games in the mid-2000s, still one of the top-renowned series of this age. Its first release, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl" received massive praise for the game, with many titles now available for all to enjoy.

Back in 2021, developers introduced a way for players to turn into metahumans via an NFT experience it aims to deliver.

However, it was shortly canceled after receiving a massive backlash to its initiative, especially as it was met with criticism to transform one's self as an NPC in the game.

The game faced massive challenges to finish, especially with the Russia and Ukraine conflict that rocked the world with the horrific events in the European countries, also one of the top reasons for its delay.

Now, the developers have prevailed over these events and are intent to deliver the game for its fans who are waiting to re-experience the "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." franchise with this sequel game.
