Developer GSC Game World has unveiled brand new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, Call of Pripyat, which follows on directly from the original game.

Players take the role of an agent in the Ukraine Security Service, sent into the Zone to collect information on a failed military operation. After discovering the Zone, the government decides to kick off "a large-scale military 'Fairway' operation aimed to take the CNPP under control".

A new interface, side quests and a 'free play' mode are promised for the sequel.

It's scheduled for release this year. Follow source link for the first screenshot of the game.

According to Wikipedia, it's using X-Ray Engine 1.6 which is similar to the engine used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. Anyway, I think it could be released this year. They already released screenshots. It's not like they're creating a whole new game too. They have 6-7 months to release the game. That's plenty of time.

This is the stand-alone expansion sequel. There's supposedly a full fledged sequel in the works, too. This is more like Clear Sky was a prequel.

I was eagerly awaiting for STALKER when HL2 came out. Years later when it did come out I was seriously disapointed that they added a RPG aspect to it.

You obviously weren't following it very closely. The RPG aspect was there since the begining if anything the dumbed it down in the release over what they were touting it would be around the time HL2 was released.

IMO Stalker with it's patches + mods and Clear Sky remain two of the most engrossing, beautifull and amazing games I have ever played.

Agreed.

People are always overlooking this game, but after I got it all patched up / actually played it, I was amazed. Lighting is probably the best I've seen in any game too.
