STALKER 2: The Heart of Chernobyl is officially released
Ukrainian studio team GSC Game World commented on the long-awaited release of the game STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl.
“Stalkers, this seems completely impossible, but STALKER 2: The Heart of Chernobyl is already available to everyone. This is truly incredible. Just like the whole process of creating a game.
Despite all the difficulties, the game actually came out. Our biggest project, our own story and love letter to Ukraine. More than 15 years later, the door to the Zone is open again. This is a very important, very memorable day for all of us.
STALKER 2 is a massive game. We understand that in a game like this there can still be some rough edges. Never before have we released a project of this size. We promise to be there to monitor your feedback and fix any issues that require our attention as quickly as possible. In the first days after the release, we will make hotfixes and release them as often as possible. Next we’ll move on to major updates that will include ongoing improvements. There will also be free in-game content. We will share our release plan with you a little later in December.
We have ambitious plans for the STALKER universe. In a sense, today is both a return and the beginning of a new journey for us,” says a statement from GSC Game World.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl is available on PC and Xbox Series. Game price for Steam – from 1399 (regular edition) to 2549 hryvnia (Ultimate Edition).
STALKER 2: The Heart of Chernobyl was expected to be released in 2022, but due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, plans were changed. Later, the game’s release was postponed to 2023, then to the first quarter of 2024, and then to September and November.
STALKER 2: The Heart of Chernobyl will be a continuation of the series of games STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007), STALKER: Clear Sky (2008) and STALKER: Call of Pripyat (2009).
Congratulations to the GSC Game World team.
Before you step into the Zone, we would like to share something with you out of a big heart. pic.twitter.com/1TGSh46NUH
