Stalker 2 developer GSC Game World has announced that the hotly-anticipated open-world FPS game will remain in the oven for several months longer. The studio today took to Twitter to explain the decision, citing a need for further development time.
According to the statement on the game's Twitter page, an additional seven months of development are needed "to fulfil our vision and achieve the desired state of the game." With the studio focusing on ensuring the game is as polished as it can be, the Stalker 2 release date has now been pushed back to December 8, 2022.
While players will have to wait that little bit longer before jumping into a post-apocalyptic Chernobyl, GSC Game World has promised that "more information, updates, and showcases" are on the way in the meantime. The last we saw of Stalker 2 was a gameplay trailer back at E3 2021.
