    Alice O'Connor posted a new article, Rumor: Bethesda gets S.T.A.L.K.E.R. rights.

    After the cancellation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, members of the dev team at GSC Game World went on to found a new studio and start their own irradiated shooter-RPG, Survarium. Yet, according to a fresh rumour, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series may live on at Bethesda.
