The long-awaited post-apocalyptic shooter was slated to arrive on September 5 but will now launch on November 20 to give developer GSC Game World more time to address technical issues.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the studio announced it will release its first-ever Developer Deep Dive video to give a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the game. The video will feature new gameplay footage, overviews of its world and locations, a full walkthrough of a story quest, and developer interviews. It is being made in collaboration with Xbox and will premiere on August 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl \u2014 Really, Again?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxeGyXSM5Pc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The delay marks another bump in the road for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/xbox-games-showcase\/2020\/07\/23\/stalker-2-is-coming-to-xbox-series-x\">formally unveiled in 2020<\/a> after years of teases at the Xbox Games Showcase but has hit snags along the way, including garnering backlash for now-canceled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/12\/15\/stalker-2-developer-announces-auction-for-metahuman-nft-that-will-appear-as-in-game-npc\">plans for NFT implementation<\/a>. The biggest disruption was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2022\/03\/03\/gsc-game-world-puts-stalker-2-development-on-sidelines-amidst-ongoing-ukraine-conflict\">Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>, where GSC Game World is based, which upended development and forced the staff to relocate to Prague, Czech Republic (though some team members actively fought and <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/stalker-developer-killed-ukraine-vladimir-fresh-yezhov\/\">sadly perished <\/a>in the war). Despite all of this, the game has managed to come together, and we even played it during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/sgf-2024\/2024\/06\/09\/the-coolest-games-we-played-at-summer-game-fest-2024-and-more\">Summer Game Fest<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n<p>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl launches on November 20 for Xbox Series X\/S and PC. It will launch day one on Xbox Game Pass. If nothing else, this delay gives players more time to catch up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/xbox-partner-preview\/2024\/03\/06\/original-stalker-legends-of-the-zone-trilogy-is-available-on-xbox\">Xbox re-release of the original games<\/a> that arrived earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2024\/07\/25\/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-hit-with-another-delay-now-launching-in-november\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has suffered yet another delay.
