GSC Game World is glad to announce a new project in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series – S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (working title) for PC.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat will become a third stand-alone game in the highly-acclaimed Survival FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. The project is slanted for release in autumn 2009.

The events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat unfold shortly after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Having discovered about the open path to the Zone center, the government decides to hold a large-scale military "Fairway" operation aimed to take the CNPP under control.

According to the operation's plan, the first military group is to conduct an air scouting of the territory to map out the detailed layouts of anomalous fields location. Thereafter, making use of the maps, the main military forces are to be dispatched.

Despite thorough preparations, the operation fails. Most of the avant-garde helicopters crash. In order to collect information on reasons behind the operation failure, Ukraine's Security Service send their agent into the Zone center. From now on everything depends on the player.

Key game features:

* Photorealistic exclusion Zone – Pripyat town, Yanov railway station, Jupiter factory, Kopachi village and more, recreated by their true-to-life prototypes.
* New story, a number of unique characters.
* Extended system of side quests.
* New monsters: Chimera and Burer. New behaviour and abilities for all monsters.
* New A-Life system, created using the players' best-liked elements of the first two games in series.
* Emissions considerably influence the world of the Zone.
* Sleep function added into the game.
* New player’s interface.
* Possibility to continue the game after completion in a freeplay mode.
* The game is developed on X-Ray engine v.1.6

so now we have a game that takes place before shadow of chernobyl (clear sky) and a game that takes place after it (Call of Pripyat)

Should be awesome. also I like this: * Possibility to continue the game after completion in a freeplay mode. About time they added it.

Nice, i've covered pretty much all the areas they said in my Wuala Group. Those are some pretty interesting and chill inspiring areas and if they make this right I'll be very happy.

But if they fuck it up again, I'm going to shove my dick up the developers ass until he screams for mercy.

Shadow of Chernobyl is still my most favorite. It's not up to pair with Clear Sky, but the mods and the extra places like underground X16, X18, Radar and Pripyat with a semi explorable Chernobyl Reactor make this legendary.

Clear Sky was a step in the right direction, but the developers themselves said that Faction Wars were rubbish and will be excluded from this title. Which means Clear Sky was just a few previous cut maps added and maybe a few possible weapons. The new cut areas like pripyat absolutely killed it for me.

Good new is that there will be around 3 maps and 2 underground maps sections, but supposedly around 1,5km x 1,5km per map ingame size. Which supposedly equals to around 10 Chernobyl maps per CoP map.

Shadow of Chernobyl is my favorite too, except for the pripyat level Gamesave Bug which they never released a fix for even with the latest patch :/ I always had to create a backup save at the end of Red Forest and do the pripyat level in one game session and hope I don't die for that reason.
