A sole developer behind ASKET has released a three‑minute teaser inspired by the STALKER Anomaly mod, crafted in tribute to the AP-PRO Showcase organized by Stalker fans. The clip serves as a first taste of what the project aims to become, showcasing a vision born from a community that still remembers the thrill of post-apocalyptic exploration and tense, resourceful combat.
In the teaser, players glimpse interactions with various objects, the operation of an anomaly detector and a binoculars view, close quarters combat, and the tactile feel of firearm handling. The pacing invites curiosity about how the world responds to each action, how anomalies react to movement, and how a lone survivor might leverage tools to survive in a hostile environment.
ASKET is an open world shooter developed by a single creator using Unreal Engine 5 for PC. The action unfolds near the Dead City, a setting thick with factions, mutants, and environmental anomalies. The project is planned for Steam release at the end of 2025, a milestone that reflects the creator’s commitment to delivering a rich, atmospheric experience built around exploration, tension, and strategic combat in a living world.
The video also nods to broader stuttering progress in the genre, recalling how STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl previously shared footage highlighting an updated Pseudo-Dog and changes to the Yanov location, underscoring how fans continually influence and celebrate the evolution of the series and its spiritual successors.
Even the realm of long-running classics has its place in the conversation. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim remains a touchstone for many players, a game that reached a 13‑year milestone while continuing to inspire new generations of fans and developers alike.
