In March, with the city under heavy bombardment and Russian troops massing outside it, GSC Game World paused development on Stalker 2. The future is unknown, but we hope for the best, are ever sure of our armed forces and our belief in Ukraine." When Russia declared war on February 24, it was one of the first game development studios to speak out, with a statement that read, in part: "Our country woke up with the sounds of explosions and weapons fire, but is ready to defend its freedom and independence, for it remains strong and ready for anything.
GSC Game World is based in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine. How has Stalker 2 been affected by the war? Stalker 2's official site states the PC version will launch simultaneously with the Xbox version. It just means PlayStation owners will be out of luck. That's a confusing phrase, but it doesn't mean PC players will have to wait. Yes! The Stalker series has always been on PC, but Stalker 2 is also a "console launch exclusive" on Xbox. Though development has now resumed, the ongoing warfare has understandably slowed the game's production. However, that was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which forced GSC Game World to suspend work.
Initially, the sequel was set to release in April of 2022 before a delay into December. There's no exact release date yet, but its Steam page lists a release window of December 2023. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently due to release in 2023.
