STALKER 2 Launch Delayed to 2023

We will wait longer than expected for the return to the zone. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will not be released this year.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl joins the long list of games that we won't see in 2022. During the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase presentation, we've seen an infographic with the games the company plans to release in the coming years. Unfortunately, the second S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has been pushed back to 2023.

The information is rather not surprising, since GSC Games World was forced to to discontinue work on the game in March in connection with the war in Ukraine. Only in May the developer was able to resume the development, but it is difficult to expect that after such a long break the creators managed to make it in time for December 8, 2022, when Heart of Chornobyl was originally supposed debut on the market.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is heading for PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles. No exact release date has been revealed.
