The highly anticipated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl faces another release date postponement. Originally scheduled for September 5th, 2024, the open-world FPS from GSC Game World will now launch on November 20th, 2024. This delay allows the developers additional time to refine the game and address unforeseen technical issues.

He acknowledged fans' patience and assured them that the extra two months will significantly improve the final product. Grygorovych expressed sincere gratitude for the continued support from the community.
