STALKER 2 delayed until November to fix unexpected anomalies

GSC Game World have decided to again delay the release of STALKER 2, as it's simply not ready for the public yet.

So that gives Valve even more time to continue working on Proton to ensure it runs everything nicely. I imagine too much for the Steam Deck though, probably desktop Linux only for this one. Although, I've been surprised by a few bigger games so we'll have to see.

From the press release: “We know you might be tired of waiting, and we truly appreciate your patience. These two additional months will give us the chance to fix more “unexpected anomalies” (or simply “bugs”, as you call them). We are always grateful for your ongoing support and understanding - it means the world to us. We’re just as eager as you are to finally release the game and for you to experience it for yourself.” said Yevhen Grygorovych, Game Director at GSC Game World.

So now it's going to release November 20th.

We're going to get more info on August 12th though, as they will be doing a Developer Deep Dive in collab with Xbox that will go over never before seen content including:

• - Interviews and behind-the-scenes of the development process.
• - Lots of new footage, including world overview, various locations, gameplay and cutscenes.
• - A full video walkthrough of one of the story quests.
