GSC Game World could well be hard at work on a brand spanking new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, which GGL hint could be titled Call of Pripyat.

Apparently, developer boss Sergey Grigorovitch was asked whether a new calendar entry for this month - mentioning Call of Pripyat - was an April Fool's joke, to which he replied that it isn't.

Apparently, this is the name of the title's second expansion pack, which will be released in late 2009. Grigorovitch also told those attending an conference that a full S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sequel is in development, although this remains a more distant prospect.

More on this chit-chat soon. Thanks VG247.
