Ukrainian developer GSC Game World has closed down, finally nailing shut the coffin on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Members of the studio have regrouped to form Vostok Games.

Vostok’s first project will be Survarium – a post-apocalyptic MMO due for release on PC at the end of 2013. It’ll be free-to-play.

“Survarium is a free2play MMOFPS game set in the near future,” reads the newly-launched official site. “The game focuses on a mass-scale ecological catastrophe on Earth, the reasons behind vaguely known.

“Impassable woods advance onto cities from every side, maddened animals and birds attack industrial complexes, military structures, warehouses and power plants. 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. Countries collapse, anarchy spreads throughout the world. Now force dictates who to survive.”
