The entire team that was working on STALKER 2 has now formed a new studio named "Vostok". They're working on a F2P MMO named "Survarium", which they believe is the next evolution of Stalker. They were denied the rights to the name "STALKER", hence they were forced to abandon it and move on. This is one of my most cherished fps games on PC of all times. I can't remember how many times I've replayed all the games. It sure is a sad day indeed. I'm now more than ever looking forward to Metro: Last Light. Lets hope they don't bite the bust like GSC did.
