MMO is in development at CyberTime System and the gameplay video below is actually S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Online, not S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Online is currently in open beta but only available in Russia, but it does make sense. The official forum says that "Not multilanguage game version currently available. Working for this - in progress." Besides, "you can download, install and try gaming in russian version of this game."

Key game features: (from official site)
- A unique setting for MMO
- Elements of Survival game play
- Simulation system of the living world zones, changing the locations of anomalies, changing mutants’ habitats, fields of artifacts etc.
- Skill system leveling that allows to modify and develop your character in different ways and requires a conscious exercise gaming activity.

- The ability to equip the bases of stalkers’ groups and build defenses, develop facilities etc.
- The parallel development of combat and support skills
- The player can choose a preferred style of play PvP, PvE, craft, Survival, trade etc.

The developer of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game shut down at the end of 2011 but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's development continued. It becomes more interesting that now there's a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Online. MMO fans will be excited.
