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.

Why Stalker 2 will most likely fail
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...
EA sold and it might be a good thing
Electronic Arts, a not very pleasant company, was just bought by some not very pleasant people and it might be a good thing.
And the Evil Corporation of the Year Award goes to...
What always fascinated me in the books, movies or video games was the concept of an evil corporation. They always had some nefarious, although logical, plans, they were powerful, they were crushing people just for the fun of it. They were always over-the-top, always taking part in some evil plans, and always had some twisted individual in charge of them. But in real life...
