Did you think that once passed in 2022, the madness of postponements would stop? If so, you were very optimistic. It is STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl which today inaugurates the ball of postponements of 2022, with a delay to say the least, which almost tilts the release of the title to next year.
The first significant delay of the year is to be celebrated

GSC Game World therefore teaches us that STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl will not be released on April 28 as expected so far, but much later. A tweet thus clarifies to us the new release date of the game, now set for December 8. Yes, it’s a hell of a delay.
Here, the pandemic is not mentioned (for once), but the team specifies that they need to take those additional seven months in order to improve the game and correct everything that can be done to make the best possible copy. (while erasing his NFT projects), given that this is the studio’s biggest project. The team thanks the community for their patience by promising many updates throughout the year.
This postponement therefore alleviates the start of the year a little, and even if we don’t want to be pessimistic, it’s a safe bet that other AAAs will follow the same path in the weeks to come.
