STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will not be at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11.

A GSC Game World representative responded to a fan on Steam asking about whether STALKER 2 would be at the Xbox Games Showcase or not. According to the developer, STALKER 2 will not be featured at any of the "June online conferences," meaning it will be missing the Xbox Games Showcase as well as other Summer Game Fest-related events. However, those looking forward to STALKER 2 can expect "important announcements in the upcoming months."

As seen above, developer GSC Game World was asked about the game’s presence at the upcoming showcase. However, the developer clarified that Stalker 2 would skip the showcase, with future updates coming in the next few months.

Previously, GSC Game World has suffered from hacks, with over 200GB of data being leaked online. Following the leak, a playable build was also leaked, and this has likely affected development.

The game is in limbo and has no release date.
It could be cancelled due to the situation of the devs

Microsoft will keep the game alive. Any other dev would have cancelled it by this point.

After everything I'm not surprised. It's wild that this is even still in development. Things will surely take longer than usual all things considered.

The studio is a talent one. I won't be surprised if they buy them once this war nonsense stops.

 

[adamsapple]

Understandable.

 

[KyoZz]

Not gonna lie, it's a bummer, but please don't cancel the game. Take your time, be safe with your families first and then finish this futur masterpiece.

Fuck Putin ffs.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I'm cool with that. More room for surprises.

[Bavarian_Sloth]

Too bad. The game is the most awaited by me.

But because of the Bolshevik war of aggression on their country, I fully understand that.

 

[Tomi]

This is all because Russia
Fuck sake

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean if there's any game that deserves a pass. It's this one.

I'm sure fans can give it some leeway

And it's gonna be shit. They have a release date at the end of this year and they don't even know what to do with their systems in-game, just a bunch of stupid ideas that won't come to fruition. It'll probably be delayed, but I have no confidence in this game being good at all anymore.

 

[HL3.exe]

Take there time. They're making this game in exceptionally weird circumstances so totally understandable.

I mean, they've lost 2 devs fighting the war. What a waste of human life and talent. Fuck that gaslighting piece of shit.

You mean the leaked list of games wasn't legit?

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I really hope this doesn't get canceled. I actually really liked the leaked videos from last week.

I know. I've already played Anomaly and a couple of other projects, but a new official Stalker experience could be so good. I'm also hoping Pioner development is coming along well.

You should have known. A real leak would have been taken of another screen, crooked and blurry.

Yeah so much work has been put in already, I can imagine it being transferred to a different dev to save face.
