STALKER 2 Gameplay & Release Date Revealed, Will Come to Xbox Consoles First

During today's Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, GSC Game World gave everyone our first look at STALKER 2 gameplay! The release date is set for April 28, 2022, but will be coming first to Xbox platforms (and PC) first.

Woah that gun was slick.

Anomalies were trippy back then and still are in this. Looking great.

ABizzel11041d ago

This actually looked really good. I haven't played Stalker in forever, and what they showed didn't really look like the mechanics from the old games (inventory management wasn't shown, bleed out, etc...). Gameplay looks like Call of Duty Horror, but if they bring the other elements of Stalker into it, this could be special.

THEzRude1040d ago

Game will have full modding support from day 1. So only sky is the limit how gritty and brutal the game can be made.

Deathdeliverer1040d ago

Never played stalker before but I’m interested. Lots of games I would have bought on my PS5 if they would have come on there first. Now with game pass I won’t have to. Don’t know who loses in this scenario, the dev that would have got full price, or the gaming community as a whole. Only one I’m sure is winning in this deal is my pocket.

annoyedgamer1040d ago

Get it on a PC. You get mod support, lower prices and you dont have to give Microsoft money.

MadLad1040d ago

I was worried, being "STALKER 2" had experienced development hell for over a decade; but I like what I saw, and it seems GSC is doing good work.
Definitely one of my most anticipated games in the works.

Bender65021040d ago

The game looks great, but timed exclusivity? C'mon MS you've been do so well recently, but these tactics go against everything MS is supposedly striving for. Anyone, anywhere, anytime. Don't be petty. Exclusive first party okay, if you must, but meaningless timed exclusives? Me not like

Makes sense really. Aren't these the Ukrainian devs ?

Alexious240d ago

Yes...But the release date for the game was already set to December 2022 before the war began. It was supposed to be nearly finished.

shinoff2183240d ago

The war isn't exactly over

Tacoboto240d ago

The war began in February 2022 - invasion of Ukraine was February 24th, 22. You're missing an entire year, Alexious.

Lightning77240d ago

The rumor was December but hey talk all the time they need no rush.

Alexious240d ago

It's not like we don't have enough games in the meantime.

got_dam240d ago

Right?! August and September are absolutely stacked. Ill be working through BG3 until Q1 2024 at this rate anyway.

z2g240d ago

All things considered, I think we can give them a free pass here.

Looks great. Does this games have a 60fps mode on console?

ModsDoBetter454d ago

Judging by how graphically demanding it looks, I doubt it but we’ll see.

shinoff2183454d ago

I don't think it makes it to 60 either. It won't kill the experience though imo it looks damn good to

ModsDoBetter454d ago

It absolutely should hit 60 on Series X.
If they come out and announce 4k/30 it’ll be hugely disappointing for “the worlds most powerful console”.

Jericho1337454d ago

Great that they’re continuing to release updates in spite their nation’s plight. Fingers crossed for a 2023 release.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — Come to Me Official Trailer

In memory of fallen heroes.The new trailer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is here.

RaidenBlack477d ago

One of my most anticipated game ....

Jericho1337477d ago

Same, looks absolutely stunning but glad they’re just the old school inventory. Great to see they’re in track for a 2023 release date - hats off to GSC keeping development going through the war.

lonewolf10477d ago

Same here, the original is still one of my favorite games.

OG_TK_Cole477d ago

Game looks very good, I cant wait to play it.

XxINFERNUSxX477d ago

All I know is on PC the stuttering from Unreal Engine 4 better not be present in this game using UE5, or I will pass on this game. I wouldn't take it for free, if issues like that are present.

repsahj477d ago

Big respect to the devs, this game looks great overall. Still hoping they will improve the graphics because it is still looks current gen.

JCOLE13195477d ago

I would think if it looked “current gen” that’d be a good thing. Or did you mean last gen?

repsahj477d ago

If you think atomic heart graphics is current gen, then yes. It looked last gen.

StarkR3ality476d ago

@rep

What are you on about pal, it's one of the best looking games I've ever seen 😂😂

Lightning77477d ago

2023 is surprising actually. The last I heard it got delayed indefinitely.

Hopefully it still makes it out this year.

RaidenBlack476d ago

STALKER 2 unlikely next year ....
and given the state the studio's going through right now, I don't want it next year.
Let them settle and work on it undisturbed and release the much awaited sequel in 2024 or even 2025 without any unnecessary rush.
I just want the game to be good. Not another rushed game to meet a deadline.
This is STALKER we're talking about ...
