S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Devs Confident They'll Make November Release Date | gamescom 2024

We sat down with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl's CEO and Game Director, Ievgen Grygorovych, and Technical Producer, Yevhen Kulyk, to go over the latest trailer release. They explain the duality of The Zone, with characters having different experiences – postive or negative – and that impacting the game. They also share the recent game's delay being due to needing to optimize the game and going through bugs – wanting to provide the most stable and best gaming experience for the players. The open-world FPS game's long-awaited release is now on November 20, 2024.

Presented by World of Warcraft: The War Within

Sounds like 3 main endings and one secret ending lol

[andrewpiltenko]

They only ask very generic surface level questions, never asking questions that we as fans would ask.

'hOw MaNY eNdiNgS ThOuGh?'
FFS somebody ask them about ALIFE 2.0 or the sanbox elements.

[Pizzoots]

SCAR IS ALIVE IM GOING TO CRY MY BOY LIVED 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Brent_P]

Asking about the *SAVE SYSTEM* would have been nice.

[szopixon]

ward ending, duty ending, freedom ending and secret monolith ending

[OTVALSKY]

Can't stand the interviewers. Surface level questions, answers to which we already know. Truly, videogame journalism.

[benzzodude]

Whenever the devs think they’re done, they should give themselves another couple of months for extra polish imo

[SergiiBoiko]

Не можу дочекатись коли вже нарешті зможу пограти в Stalker 2.

Original release date was April 28 2022. Ukraine was attacked February 24 2022.

They were never close to ready.

Looks devs, it's not our loss if you keep delaying it, we're actually saving money in the process. You can keep developing it, keep polishing it if necessary. It's a win:win to us consumers regardless.

There is so much to play out there while waiting.

[lucianmangu]

The Zone is big and beautiful. Can't wait to experience it! :D

[MrHotguy]

Watch the end up, delaying this game again and if they do, it’s extremely unprofessional it’s been delayed way too many times now war or no war if you’re not sure it’s ready delayed indefinitely until you’re 100% sure then set a release date

[GtSaalfeld]

Take your time gentlemen we waited a long time we can wait a bit longer

[CoffeeFiend]

Finished and polished is always preferable to broken and unfinished. Plus families are *literally* being butchered whilst this is going on. Now to hear some rebuttal from a sheltered little sausage somewhere safe.

[Rupjamaize]

That dude looks and sounds like the latvian comedian gatis kandis

[badcash]

Nothing new, they always looks confident, but they aren't believable anymore. the game looks great i've preordered 2yrs ago, but my trust is under the floor

[kappaslapper]

Why cant we get people who actually know what their talking about when interviewing a studio behind a massive brand !

[surfsnyper]

Take your time! Rather a finished then a rushed game.

[PSGamingScotland]

Is this game getting a physical release for PlayStation?
