Stalker 2 is expected to be adapted into a TV series by Netflix

Maksym Krippa, an investor in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 developer GSC Game World, told Forbes Ukraine that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been profitable, despite GSC investing tens of millions of dollars in development and marketing costs. In addition, Krippa also revealed that GSC is in contact with Netflix to discuss a possible film and television adaptation.

Recently, game IP adaptation has become a trend that film and television companies are keen on in recent years.

In terms of TV series, there have been huge successes such as "The Last of Us" and "Fallout", while the first seasons of "Chariots of Fire" and "Yakuza" received mixed reviews. However, there have also been some failed works, such as "Resident Evil" and "Halo", which have been cancelled after one and two seasons respectively.

In terms of movies, successful game adaptations in recent years include "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Uncharted", "Super Mario: The Movie", etc. Of course, there are also cases of miserable failures, such as the live-action movie "Borderlands".
