Stalker 2 Has Been Delayed By Another Two Months

As a long-time fan of the Stalker series, I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl for what feels like an eternity. The latest delay is certainly disappointing, but I understand that game development can be a complex and unpredictable process.


GSC Game World has recently disclosed that the release date for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been pushed back by another two months. The new launch is scheduled for November 20, 2024. This news may disappoint fans who had anticipated playing this post-apocalyptic, open-world adventure as early as September. Since its initial unveiling, years have passed, but numerous complications have emerged, halting GSC from releasing the game on schedule.

Self-Awareness

In a playful teaser, GSC Game World announced the game’s delay once again in a humorous trailer titled “Really, Another Delay?”

Despite the unfavorable announcement, there’s a silver lining: On August 12, developers from Stalker 2 will provide an exclusive deep dive into the game. Players will get an unprecedented peek at the game’s development process, with GSC guiding us through a story mission and hosting Q&A sessions along with new footage.

In a statement, the game director at GSC, Yevhen Grygorovych, said:

You may be growing weary of the delay, but please know that your patience is greatly valued by us. The next two months provide us with the necessary time to address some unforeseen issues (feel free to refer to them as “bugs” if that’s easier). We are deeply grateful for your continued backing and comprehension – it truly makes a difference to our team. As much as we’re excited as you are to launch the game, we want to ensure a top-notch experience for you upon first play.

The road has been lengthy, and it’s added a bit more distance recently. Considering the game’s impressive appearance, fixing any lingering issues is a worthwhile investment before its release.
