Kiev-based developer GSC Game World is now a certified Xbox 360 developer, the company has announced.

Though no specific titles were mentioned, GSC Game World will now pursue multiplatform projects. However, CEO Sergiy Grygorovych promised "we will continue paying maximum attention to the PC platform."

GSC Game World is best for the Cossacks RTS series (below, left) as well as this year's atmospheric FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (below, right). It is currently developing a prequel to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. titled Clear Sky, and is pursuing other entries in the franchise.

"Obtaining such a status for an independent developer based in ex-USSR means a lot--it took us over 2 years to get," Grygorovych noted. "Creating games for PC, we achieved practically everything, and now are prepared to garner the top spots in sales charts and gamers' recognition in the world of console games too."
