It looks like production of anticipated Stalker 2 game from Ukrainian studio GSC Game World was just postponed indefinitely.
At least that is the conclusion of recent Microsoft (the game publisher) decision to refund money players spent on a pre-orders of Stalker 2 via Xbox Store. So far there is no official communication from developers, but due to ongoing war in Ukraine, that does not seem like ending any time soon, it is fair assumption.
Even though the development team (or majority of the team) was supposedly relocated from Ukraine to neighbour countries (like Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania), it looks like the disruption caused by war was far more serious than GSC Game World assumed. The game that was suppose to premiere in second quarter of 2022, was already postponed to next year, but it seems that developers are unable to give any solid date they will be ready with the product.
While it is unfortunate for the fans of the series, not to mention the Ukrainian developers, who have to face the war, it is worth to point out that so far no gameplay, no in-game screenshots nor any sort of demo were presented, so it is really hard to determine how much (if any part) of the game was actually completed so far.

Another month and another case of gaming companies trying to outbid each other who will come up with worst idea. And, oh boy, do they got good at it.
To nobody’s surprise GSC Game World has just postponed (again) premiere of Stalker 2. For about 7 months...
This news creates mixed feelings in me - I want to make a smug face and repeat "I told you so!" and at the same time I wish this news was not true. Yes, it is Stalker 2 again. Yes, it’s bad news again. No, I’m not surprised. During the Gamescom 2023 a new trailer of the title was shown and... let’s just say it wasn’t received well.
GSC Game World has done it again - they postponed the premiere of Stalker 2. Again. Once more. Yet again. The umpteenth time. And that is the whole news.
Do you remember The Simpsons? You know, that TV series that once was funny, before it became the forgotten, although still going TV series. Wargaming just got to the new level of pathetic detachment from reality, just like The Simpsons.
Yeah, yeah, the same old story - boy inherits some money, uses his spiel to turn it into more money and then goes bonkers. How many times have you heard that one?
In a move that shocked pretty much no one, who paid attention to World of Warships in recent months, the most recognized Community Contributors for the game has just distanced themselves from Wargamin...
Life is full of tough choices and one of the hardest ones to crack is who can you trust? In some cases the answer is pretty simple: no one.
