The end of the tunnel is near, but not that much. Initially scheduled for April 28 on PC and Xbox consoles, STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl will not be ready on time, and prefers to postpone its release date. See you finally on December 8, if all goes well.
Expected for many years, the FPS of GSC had been slow to be talked about again, during the Bethesda & Microsoft conference at E3 last year. We discovered a gameplay trailer, alternating shootings and exploration. But we will have to wait a little longer to discover all its secrets, since the developers prefer to allow themselves an additional 7 months. History to test the assembly a little more and polish what needs it.
Recently, STALKER 2 had been controversial for its desire to integrate NFTs into the game. A model sold as completely optional, without any impact on the gameplay, but which had convinced absolutely no one. The idea is to invite auction winners to a photo shoot to immortalize them as NPCs.
A huge outcry later, the studio had backed down. A first lunar statement, citing the difficulty for a small team without a publisher to please fans with new technology, was quickly deleted. Before being replaced by a much simpler and more efficient version. “The interests of our fans and players are the top priority of the team. We make this game for your enjoyment, whatever the cost ”. The same goes for this postponement.
