Stalker 2, game under development in Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, again hits the news, and again not for particularly good reason.
Stalker 2, the anticipated game of the (sort-of) post-apocalyptic FPS series, was suppose to be published in 2021, then in early 2022, then in December 2022, then due to Russian invasion it was suspended and now it is again in development, but release date was moved to 2023. At least that’s how it looks like today.
And I would put emphasis on word "today". Why? Because it is again a kind of blunder on GSC Game World side - after relocating their development teams to Czech Republic they supposedly resumed work on Stalker 2, now it looks like they moved the premiere to next year, but... I guess they forgot to tell their staff. The result? In recent days their staff was informing players that the December release date haven’t changed.
Now the publisher is removing the messages that were deceiving the audience and corrects the statements that Stalker 2 is in fact postponed until 2023. At least that’s the current version, although taking under consideration that so far we haven’t seen a single bit of in-game footage, not even in-game screenshots, it is to be seen how realistic that plan is.

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.
We just gained some details of the upcoming Stalker 2 (or rather S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2) game, but it is scarce info to be honest. And that makes me fear it will be a failure on premiere. Here is why...
Stalker 2 popped up in the news again, due to NFTs drama, but also exposed that nothing has changed in the world lately. Unfortunately.
GSC Game World, the company behind Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, just introduced a new game in the universum and at the same time they invented a new genre of the games. Or rather, meta games. Introducing Stalker 2: the Download Simulator!

Today something completely different - a nostalgia piece about a game from 2015 (ancient history for some) that was not in any way a bad game, but incorporated one bad idea that ruined all the good ideas. Yes, you guessed it from the title, it is a Fallout 4 "and one to ruin them all" story.
The CEO of Embracer Group, Lars Wingefors, will step down of his post soon. Why is it important? It isn’t.
