Icrontic Games a réalisé une preview du futur FPS/RPG portant le nom de S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Oblivion Lost. Il n’y a rien de vraiment neuf dans cette preview si ce n’est cet extrait:

(…)joining clans enables you to receive better weapons, better jobs and access into areas you may never have found on your own. Joining clubs gives you access to far more weapons than joining clans – however clubs do not offer any of the side quests that could be found with the clans. Both however offer protection against the military that patrol the game world 24 hours a day.
