The anticipated release of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a post-apocalyptic horror shooter, has been pushed back once again. GSC Game World, the game’s developer, announced that the launch, which was rescheduled for September 5, 2024, will be delayed by eleven weeks.

The company resumed work on Stalker 2, which was first announced in 2010, in 2018, and has since encountered an ongoing conflict with Russia, as well as a fire at their Prague headquarters earlier this year that caused over £50,000 worth of damage. The game’s new launch date is November 20, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. The announcement was accompanied by a statement from the development team thanking fans for their patience and acknowledging that the additional two months would give them a chance to fix more bugs.
A new Stalker 2 Developer Deep Dive video is set to launch on August 12, featuring interviews and a “lot of new footage,” including quest walkthroughs, gameplay, and cutscenes.
