S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Delayed to November 20

GSC Game World’s highly anticipated post-apocalyptic shooter, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, has been hit with another delay, pushing its release to November 20th. The studio cites the need for additional time to polish and refine the game to meet the expectations of its dedicated fanbase. However, fans can get a glimpse of the progress made in a brand-new trailer released alongside the announcement.

What the Developers Had to Say

“We know you might be tired of waiting, and we truly appreciate your patience. These two additional months will give us the chance to fix more “unexpected anomalies” (or simply “bugs”, as you call them). We are always grateful for your ongoing support and understanding – it means the world to us. We’re just as eager as you are to finally release the game and for you to experience it for yourself.” said Yevhen Grygorovych, Game Director at GSC Game World.

With the launch nearly here, the team is ready to share the biggest and the most comprehensive update on the game yet. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Developer Deep Dive will premiere in collaboration with Xbox on the 12th August, 2024, featuring a variety of never-before-seen content, including:

• Interviews and behind-the-scenes of the development process;
• Lots of new footage, including world overview, various locations, gameplay and cutscenes;
• A full video walkthrough of one of the story quests.

This Developer Deep Dive is set to give our fans the full understanding of how the game plays and looks. More details will be shared soon.
