A new trailer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl celebrates the fact that Ukrainian Developer GSC Game World has entered the final phase of development overcoming the challenges caused by the war.
Upcoming Xbox exclusive Stalker 2 has received another delay
Minor delay ... but still with everything the devs went through and that its another Stalker after many years, I guess the gaming community can happily wait. Dont rush, release when satisfied.
2023 build of the game was pretty buggy but this year, people who have played the latest build, have all being saying the game has improved drastically compared to what it was.
I won't even mind if they decide to release in mid-2025.
Like, just compare Cyberpunk of 2020 to Phantom Liberty of 2023.

The blue balling with this game is unreal. We already had a final release date trailer. If I had to guess this is them making sure they don’t have a console cyberpunk release and are still trying to get this game optimized for that trash console series S
I think this game is probably too high profile as a timed Xbox exclusive for this to happen, but you do have to wonder if/when a game is going to come out that runs well enough on the X and is just a trainwreck on the S.
I mean it's not like the devs are based in Ukraine and it's not like many of the devs have literally been fighting back against Russian forces. Nah, one of the devs definitely didn't die a couple years ago as a result. But, sure, it's just because of the Series S. There's no other possible explanation for a delay. The devs are obviously lying now when they say they want to take some time to fix some of the bugs they haven't had time to get to.
It’s a gamepass game and I’m willing to bet it has nothing to do with what you’re saying above and everything to do with making sure the game runs on all the systems a major publisher they’ve signed with has to offer. Regardless, I’ll get the game if it releases in a decent state, which I’m sure it will on PC, but time will tell.
Bro, stop being a drama queen. The war started in Feb. 2022 and the devs (GSC Game World) ran away... oh I mean "relocated" to Prague, Czech Republic in May 2022 within just 3 months. They have been working on the game from the safety of their offices in Prague. Nobody is fighting the Russian forces in the day and working on the game by night. Only one of the devs, Volodymyr Anatoliyovych, who was a little too eager to be a hero resigned from his job and volunteered for the defense of Bakhmut and died on December 22, 2022, long after the devs had escaped to the Czech Republic.
the war against xbox is more important to him than the war against Russia, priorities ig.
@asim drama queen? they have been moved from their country and their home, and they're being dramaqueens? The biggest hardship you probably dealt with is stubbing your toe so I'm sure you can relate
@Michiel1989
I was calling Porkchop a drama queen, not the devs or Ukrainians. They are not fighting wars or living in a war-torn country as Porkchop implied, so Ukraine's condition has little to no impact on the game's development. Anyway, I wish people had the same sympathy for Palestinians who were invaded by squatters backed by the West who gradually took over their land over the decades and have killed hundreds of thousands of their people since 1948.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl combines survival horror with immersive storytelling, and we can’t wait to experience more when it comes out this Fall.
Played shadow of chernobyl for the first time and it was amazing, it still holds up very well. Such a shame that mods with script changes are not allowed on console, would be so cool to have anomaly available on ps and Xbox, Sony needs to revise their modding policy it's ridiculously outdated
Super hyped. Kinda sad not to see more people talking about this game but when it releases I think it will be talked about a lot. Have a funny feeling the games difficulty is going to push the generic fps crowd away but longtime gamers know this game will be something to treasure for years to come
TechRaptor writes, "We got our hands on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl at Summer Game Fest, and it brought me into a dreary world filled with intrigue."
So excited and happy to see the story continues from where we left off with Call of Pripyat but by the looks of things under a new “agent” of the zone, hence this being a numbered sequel instead of it just being years ahead or a new stalker in a new engine.
Cannot wait for the release, but can wait until after the avalanche of patches for it. Cyberpunk 2077 analog...

All I want is the game to be finished and not released in a broken state on PC. If they feel it's not ready just delay it, do not pull that bullshit like we had with TLoU on PC for example, that game was not ready at all and needed a few more months.
We getting closer and closer!
With all the things that happened and still are happening in those guys lives. I hope for both developers at GSC Game World and their families are well and safe.
I wish them the best of luck with their new game.
I can´t wait!
Honestly I am very proud of that team and wish them the best.
