It looks great but honestly im worried, seeing the “default, deluxe, ultimate” editions gives me some Ubisoft flashbacks. I mean I know GSC is very capable but with such a big game I wouldn’t be mad at them if they had to kind of simplify stalker or something, make it more palatable for a larger audience. I’d prefer it to be hardcore of course but based on how good it looks, it must be expensive, and they have to make their money back.

Message from GSC Game World on the delay:
While there is absolutely no way to make another delay sound less dim, we decided to be clear about our reasons to postpone the game for the sake of yet another wave of polishing.
During Gamescom 2023, GSC Game World decided to show a small part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 to the players publicly for the first time ever. This one-time initiative then transformed into a journey from one event to another across Poland, France, Brazil, Singapore and other countries. Thousands of players were able to play the game themselves and give the much-needed direct feedback afterwards.
Two key points emerged from that.
The first one was: it absolutely felt and played like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, which basically summed up both the key intention and the main inspiration for the project from the very beginning. The second one was: on the technical side of things, the game apparently needed more time in the oven.
Throughout the frankly challenging development process, time was of the team’s main essence. Seeing the scope of polishing and understanding the limits of the players’ patience, GSC was absolutely dedicated to releasing the game in Q1 2024. That, however, doesn’t change the fact that at the beginning of this year, certain technical imperfections still hold S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 below the expected standards for the final experience the fans are waiting for.
This extended journey to the release will be supported with much more content from the game to be shared later this year.
Overview
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a brand-new entry in the legendary series, enjoyed by millions of players worldwide.
The unique combination of first-person shooter, immersive sim, and horror is back. With unprecedented scale, advanced graphics, freedom of choices, and the thickest atmosphere of a deadly adventure, it’s going to be the ultimate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience.
Welcome to The Zone—an area of exclusion around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Full of radiation, mutants, and anomalies, it keeps drawing adventurers from beyond the perimeter.
Bounty hunters dwell deep into the Zone, driven by its treasures and mysteries. These people are known as stalkers.
Are you ready to become one of them?

Wish I could bring good news for Christmas, but one of the developers for the STALKER games has been killed in the defense of Ukraine. He was killed sometime around or shortly before 22nd December.
If he looks a little familiar, its because he is already immortalized as the model for the Freedom faction leader at Yanov, Loki, in Call of Pripyat.
