Stalker 2 has been delayed to November

The game was previously planned for September

Stalker 2 has been delayed again.

In a new video titled “Really, again?” developer GSC Game World announced that the game will now launch on November 20 instead of September 5 as previously planned.

“We know you might be tired of waiting, and we truly appreciate your patience,” it said. “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,” it added.

“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.”

Stalker 2’s exact release shedule has been in doubt since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. At the time, GSC Game World was based in Kiev, but it has since partially relocated to the Czech Republic.

Stalker 2 will be released for Xbox Series X/S and PC and will be available on Game Pass on day one.
