GSC GameWorld has announced that STALKER 2 has, once again, been delayed. The game will now target a September 5th release date, and you can find below a new trailer for it.
This new trailer does not show much, so you should temper your expectations. All it shows is a group of stalkers sitting in a campfire.
In June 2022, GSC GameWorld delayed the game to 2023. Then, in August 2023, GSC GameWorld stated that STALKER 2 was targeting a Q1 2024 release. And now, the game has been delayed for a third time.
STALKER 2 will be using Unreal Engine 5 and promises to feature incredible graphics. You can also find here its preliminary PC requirements.
Contrary to other Unreal Engine 5 games, STALKER 2 will be also available on Steam. According to its Steam store page, the game won’t have Denuvo. So, that’s good for those who boycott the games using it.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl promises to have a huge, realistic world to explore. You’ll get to wander around a massive 64-square-kilometer radioactive zone. This zone will be filled with all kinds of post-apocalyptic environments. Not only that but players will get to decide how their story unfolds. Additionally, the devs claim that the game will have a highly branching epic story.
STALKER 2 will have a dynamic day-night cycle and weather system. The game also promises to have an advanced AI, and a life-simulating system “A-life 2.0”. Furthermore, there will be modding support, as well as a multiplayer mode (which will be added soon after release as a free update).
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
