Support NeoGAF

[clarky]

Just delay 6 months.

I know the circumstances but this sounds like its coming in hotter than a shadow storm missile.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Not surprised one bit, take all the time you need. I actually won't have to stress about finishing the original trilogy from the recent console release in time.

 

[JayK47]

2025 it is.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

How many more times, treat me the way you wanna do.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Honestly the team can take all the time they want.

I already have it preordered. I can't remember who but they had a steam key for $40.

 

[Zathalus]

I doubt it was anywhere close to being finished regardless of the events in February 2022

COVID caused delays of over a year plus for many, many major games. You don’t think a massive war might have led to an even bigger delay?

First game: buggy to this day
Second game:
Being developed during Covid
Being developed during a war
Staff members die in war
Delays after delays


It will be a Christmas miracle if this game is legit good. That’s why when I say there a mountain of shit stacked against this game, that’s what I mean.

They could develop for another 3 years and I’m still of the mind this thing will come out mid.

[TheDarkPhantom]

So PS5 version Spring 2025, cool

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Googling it, Stalker 2 will have MP at some point. Cant wait.

 

[Jesb]

Gotta give them credit that this game is even happening.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Would not surprise me if they are struggling with the Series S version optimisation. Would explain this late announcement, a month and a half before the planned release date.

 

[rkofan87]

and still no news on jones and avowed yep xbox going to just have cod for 2024.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

It is what it is. The game looks crazy. Plus didn't half the team end up going to war or something?

 

[kyussman]

There is no way this game doesn't ship without a shit load of bugs regardless of any delays.

 

[Jesb]

Was thinking to give the old games a try since they been in my library forever but both games don’t support a controller. So much for that.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

People forgot STALKER 1 lol.

It's typical for the team and the game. And I'm sure this is not the last dealy too.

 

[Kupfer]

Like The Last of Us II and Cyberpunk 2077?

Still looking forward for the PS5 version

They left the warzone literally a month after it started and all relocated to Prague. Lets stop this narative how they are doing gods work by dedicating themselves to develop a game in the middle of a war. No, they moved far far away asap and continued to develop in peace.

Not all of them left (some had to flee for their lives while others joined the armed forces) and packing up and moving to an entire other country while your own is being invaded is going to put a massive delay on any project. Not to imagine the stress impacting you if you have any family left behind. That’s not the only reason for the delay of course, the cyberattacks and leak of the game probably contributed as well.

Does that completely explain the delays? Probably not, but pretending they didn’t have a massive impact is asinine.

 

[R6Rider]

2025 it is.

And then they delay it again to avoid GTA 6.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Woopah]

I'm okay with it, gives my more time for Age of Mythology.

 

[hemo memo]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 d.e.l.a.y.e.d t.o N.o.v.e.m.b.e.r 20t.h​

Missed opportunity OP.

 

[Caio]

I hope it will be a great Game, I don't care about a delay of a month or two. Fingers crossed.

[mckmas8808]

Does MS have 3 month exclusivity on Stalker 2?

Yep. And 3 more delays after that too, and still launch janky AF.

 

[Farawayfromhell]

I pre-ordered it in November 2022...

Don't know for sure, that's my best guess

Only info we have about this is from that leaked document years ago, right?
