The development of STALKER 2 by GSC Game World is reportedly currently only 25% complete . Such information, with reference to insider Daniel Nexus and “people familiar with a wide range of materials on the game,” leads the publication ” Igromania “.

Beta testers complain about the constant crunches in the studio, there is always a repair and alteration of game materials, the QA test is now at the first stage of three. The art test has not been passed yet, let alone the pass test and beautification

If the information is true, STALKER 2 will not be released in 2023 . The game is being created for Xbox Series X|S and PC . It is planned to be added to the Xbox Game Pass subscription at launch.

Sure, it's a great idea to follow the bullshit of angry Russians

 

[64bitmodels]

Alright boys, lets get this one to page 10 come on i know we can do it

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Aren’t we humans 75% made out of water?

So I’ll say just add water and release it.

 

[Patrick S.]

Can't be angry about it. These people are in the midst of a war in which they've already lost friends and colleagues. There are more important things than digital toys.

Considering the real world circumstances, they're fine if they release it in 2025.

I meeeean the first game was called ЖДАЛКЕР for a reason.
(Wordplay on ЖДАТЬ - to wait, and СТАЛКЕР = Stalker)
It may have been unknown in the west, but the first game was announced way too early in development and delayed a few times.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Honestly with everything they've been through, and ARE going through, I was shocked if it'd even come out this year. I hope everyone can be patient and understand the delay, I mean, it makes more sense than any other delay we've seen before.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Russian source? That pretty much guarantees it will be out in 2023.

 

[acm2000]

haha come on, try harder russia

 

[nowhat]

Considering the real world circumstances, they're fine if they release it in 2025.

This. I mean... there's an actual war of invasion (or a special military operation, a matter of perspective I suppose... although one of those perspectives is bullshit) going on. It will inevitably affect development.

 

[Elder Legend]

This sounds very false.

 

[Warablo]

Good on Microsoft for supporting that studio

Even if true, its hard to be annoyed given the circumstamces. There are more important things in life than videogames.
