An eye-catching Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl fan remaster will launch on 25th December.
Fans of the Ukranian first-person shooter survival horror series have reacted warmly to the news, while work continues on the game’s official follow-up.
The remaster will launch as a free mod to the original game, creator Andrey0007 stated via ModDB, containing around 16GB of new textures. Plans to also edit the game’s plot in order to remove some inconsistencies have been scaled back, however.
Here’s a glimpse at how it looks:
“The fact is that I barely have time to work on textures,” Andrey0007 wrote, discussing their earlier, more ambitious plans. “Not to mention the fact that I need to somehow manage to assemble the assembly in the whole, namely, transfer everything to OGSR engine and redo the plot a bit (remove some inconsistencies, make changes to the voice acting, etc.).
