S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart Of Chornobyl Will Be Delayed To 2023

GSC Game World has officially delayed its upcoming first-person shooter and exploration-heavy title S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

The game is now delayed to 2023 past its previous plan of 8 December. The company discussed about game-making during wartime, as GSC Game World is a Ukraine-based studio.

“Some of GSC Game World’s employees have decided to defend their country while a part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl’s development continues in Kyiv. The company has also established a new office in Prague, Czech Republic, where much of the game’s development will take place.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe is based on three video games as well as numerous books, comics, and fan-fiction pieces. With over 15 million copies sold worldwide, the franchise has been critically acclaimed and fans are eagerly waiting for its return with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.”

Check out the Enter The Zone trailer and the developer diary videos below. The game is shaping up to be as creepy and atmospheric as possible, for a shooter taking place in a messed-up zone affected by the Chernobyl incident.
