Survarium, the free to play MMO FPS coming from Vostok Games, is apparently the “evolution” of the STALKER series, which has of course been axed.
This new studio came into existence recently, when GSK – the studio responsible for developing STALKER, including an in development sequel, closed its doors.
According to Vostok, Survarium is set in the same “zone” universe as the STALKER franchise, focuses on “a mass-scale ecological catastrophe on Earth, the reasons behind vaguely known.”
They go on to say, “Impassable woods advance onto cities from every side, maddened animals and birds attack industrial complexes, military structures, warehouses and power plants. Towns are cut off from each other, there are no water supplies, no electricity, gas, communication is lost.
“Countries collapse, anarchy spreads throughout the world. Now force dictates who to survive. In the meantime, new species of greenery and animals purposely destroy human civilization. Strange plants and mushrooms grow through concrete and steel. Scientists all over the world haplessly try to cope with the anomaly sprawling across the Earth with terrifying speed.”
