The upcoming sequel, “Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl,” is generating significant anticipation among fans of the series. Here’s what we know so far:
- Rumored Release Date: According to distributor Plaion’s website, “Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl” is listed with a release date of December 1, 2023. While this date has not been officially confirmed by developer GSC Game World, fans are hopeful that it may be accurate, especially considering that other games on Plaion’s site without release dates have been given placeholder dates of December 31, 2023. However, until GSC Game World provides an official announcement, this should be taken as a rumor.
- Hacking Incident: GSC Game World recently revealed that the game’s development process was compromised by Russian hackers who leaked test builds and other stolen materials into the public domain. The company urged fans not to view or share any leaked materials to preserve the experience of exploring the game’s world.
Despite these challenges, fans are eagerly awaiting any official updates or announcements from GSC Game World regarding the release of “Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.” Gamescom, an annual gaming event, could potentially provide more information about the game’s development and release plans.
