- GSC Game World — 30 years on the path - 25 November 2025

This road, with all its insane challenges and unexpected turns, is what has shaped us.From S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to Cossacks, from Hover Ace to Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and every world in between — we build places where anyone can become a hero, where magic feels real, and where radioactive fog cradles legends.We create worlds.

And much more is still ahead: new worl…
