To all our players,

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will now be launching on November 20, 2024, moving from the previously planned date of September 5, 2024. We know you might be tired of waiting, and we truly appreciate your patience. These two additional months will give us the chance to fix more “unexpected anomalies” (or simply “bugs”, as you call them).

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is shaping up to be everything we envisioned, with the launch nearly here, and we are incredibly excited to share more with you. To give you a taste of what’s coming, we’re thrilled to announce the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Developer Deep Dive video, which will be released on Xbox media channels on August 12. This detailed update will include exclusive interviews, lots of new footage, and a full video walkthrough of one of the game quests. We can’t wait for you to see it and get a comprehensive understanding of how the game looks and plays.

We are always grateful for your ongoing support and understanding — it means the world to us. We’re just as eager as you are to finally release the game and for you to experience it for yourself.

With love and gratitude,
GSC GAME WORLD

A decade has passed, and still, they are cursed by a lot of stalkers. No retired fanatics, they say. Deserving a shot when only seen in a scope. When Ward’s order came along with the D4 pact — they agreed to do things that made even the drilled-up Dutiers glance at Perimeter.

Monolith is dead. Though for the majority, its cause lingers while the Wild Island exists. And while Strider is trying to pull his brothers out of hell, Faust… Has his own picture of the future.
