Game news STALKER 2: the Xbox excluded severely delayed, here is the new release date

See you at the end of the year for STALKER 2

Despite the recent quack about the NFTs, everything seemed to be off to a good start for STALKER 2 which was to be delivered to us within four short months: we even knew the weight of the game, suggesting that the title was indeed on track for attempt to dazzle Xbox gamers. But because the gaming industry is sometimes fraught with pitfalls and full of surprises, the developers just came fromannounce Bad news for all fans: the FPS will not arrive on schedule.

Instead of April 28, STALKER 2 will finally be released on December 8, 2022. A significant delay, yes, formalized on the social networks of GSC Game World which also cracked an official press release:

These extra months of development were necessary to fully fulfill our vision and reach the desired level of the game. STALKER 2 is the biggest project in GSC history and it requires more testing and polishing. We are convinced that the design must take the necessary time, especially in the case of such a project.

“A difficult decision”

Ukrainian designers add that “This decision was not an easy one” and that they were currently giving their best to deliver a game that lived up to expectations. Likewise, more information, updates and showcases are expected in the coming months.

Here is what is said, clearly: STALKER 2 could not be released as is and its own authors estimated that the objectives would not be achieved on time. A bad for a good will say some, since it is better to bail out of a title finished late, but good, rather than a wet firecracker in advance. And God knows the industry has no shortage of examples.

Short, meet on December 8 on PC and Xbox Series, if all goes well.
