Since August 2004, GSC World Publishing has launched 7 projects: Alexander (2004), Cossacks 2: Napoleonic Wars (2005), Cossacks 2: Battle for Europe (2006), Heroes of Annihilated Empires (2006), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (2008), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (2009). The game was released simultaneously with the movie and was self-published by GSC in former USSR territories. In 2004 the studio enjoyed its first experience of working on a Hollywood movie license, while developing the tie-in RTS based on Oliver Stone's blockbuster film Alexander.
The revolutionary Cossacks: European Wars RTS title became the company's first hit, selling, along with its two add-ons, over 5 million copies worldwide. Since 2004 the proprietary worldwide publishing branch has been operating within the company. Founded in 1995, GSC Game World has become the most renowned game development studio in Ukraine and a leading developer in Europe.
