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.

Well, not exactly whole news, this time they prepared a video material and everything. And by "everything" I mean the same pre-rendered scene around the fire, but cut down to about 20 seconds and an accurate date for the premiere, September 5th, 2024. Well, probably accurate. At least for now. Most likely. As far as we can tell. This new "trailer" is so short and pointless, that I won’t even bother to add it to this "news". Unless Stalker 2 is gonna be a tea drinking simulator, it will tell you absolutely nothing about the game (like any of the previous ones).
So... that is actually it. Just to summarize: on their own YouTube channel, GSC Game World, publisher of one of the most anticipated games this year (and to be fair, also two previous years), in the past 12 months managed to publish about 9 minutes of materials. Most of them are just the trailers (pre-rendered) and a very short bit of actual gameplay, so... we’ll see how this will end, but I don’t hold my breath in anticipation.

Stalker 2, game under development in Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, again hits the news, and again not for particularly good reason.
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.
Six months since the premiere of Stalker 2, the title dropped to about 6,000 users in weekly peaks, which means about 4% of those who played the game in November still roam the Zone, which is not a great success. Here are 5 reasons the game failed, and none of them has anything to do with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
GSC Game World presented a brand new Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl trailer, which introduced us to... dozens of shades of darkness. Literally. And that’s about it.
Great news for all of the fans of Cheech and Chong comedy duo - now you can play as their characters in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Warzone! And... it is hard to tell why.
To nobody’s surprise Highguard shuts down after weeks of existence.
Times change and we change with them - simple ancient sentence that has a lot to do with game development. I know, you expect to find here the rambling of old man about how old games were better, righ...
Another company, Pixie Interactive, just went under due to absolute morons in charge, who thought cryptocurrency is the way ahead. What can I say besides Pixie Interactive kicked the bucket, Pixie Int...
