Vostok Games

Vostok Games is a game developer based in Kiev, Ukraine found in March 2012. At the time of this writing, the MMOFPS Survarium is the company's only announced project.

Background
The development team of Vostok Games is originally from GSC Game World until that company closed down operations in December 2011. They are most well known for the development of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series of games, which includes S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

During the development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the project was unexpectedly frozen and the studio closed. The team, having worked on the game and franchise for several years at this point, were unable to accept this. They secured funding from Vostok Ventures Ltd. and formed a new studio, Vostok Games.

Survarium
After the closure of GSC Game World, the team tried to come to an agreement with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. rights holder to make use of the brand, but were ultimately unable to. At this point Vostok Ventures asked what they would be able to make without the brand and the team were prompted to start developing a new game. In March 2012 they reached an agreement with Vostok Ventures to supply financing for their new game, Survarium.
