Stalker developers congratulated gamers on Christmas with "Shchedryk" and a postcard

The GSC Game World team, developers of the cult game Stalker, congratulated fans on the upcoming Christmas by publishing a holiday postcard on the social network X.

In the post, the developers shared a story about a stalker who once again returns to an abandoned apartment in Pripyat, sits by the window and looks at the view with the palace of culture «Energetik». For him, this place feels like home.

The video features a cover of the legendary «Shchedryk» by Mykola Leontovych performed by the Lviv folk band «Pyrig i Batig», which adds a special atmosphere.

«He knew that he wouldn't be alone that night. If he had one wish, he would wish to be here — among friends, among loyal stalkers. And he succeeded.

Merry Christmas to you, friends.

Your team, GSC Game World», — says the greeting.
