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 postponed indefinitely
It looks like production of anticipated Stalker 2 game from Ukrainian studio GSC Game World was just postponed indefinitely.
I told you so!
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.
5 reasons Stalker 2 failed
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.
Stalker 2 development suspended
Due to Russian aggression on Ukraine the development of Stalker 2, a highly anticipated sequel to Stalker series games, has been suspended.
Oh god, it’s spreading!
No, I’m not talking about COVID, although that is spreading as well as we speak. Do you remember the old rule "if it’s free you’re not the client, you’re the product"? Well, we have to come up with new one...
There is no such thing as AI. Yet.
Every single day we all are bombarded by brand news about brand new AI tool that will somehow revolutionise the world, bring the apocalypse or will turn us all into slaves. There is just one problem with all those stories - there is no such thing as AI. Yet.
