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.

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.

Due to Russian aggression on Ukraine the development of Stalker 2, a highly anticipated sequel to Stalker series games, has been suspended.
Few years back YouTube, as it is a tradition of that company, screwed over the creators on the platform by changing the rules of monetization and in single move cutting a lot of people from potential income. But at least now we can say it was all worth it!
Gamer Network, parent company of such publications as Eurogamer, Gemesindustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, Dicebreaker and few more, finally was acquited by IGN Entertainment. And, of course, they started with sacking people.
After months and years of neglecting and mistreating the players on Steam Steel Ocean closes in early May 2020.
