S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's developer said on Twitter that the game needs more time to fulfill its vision.
Following its ever so brief public fling with NFTs, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl has been delayed from its April 28 release date all the way to December 8.
Announced by developer GSC Game World on Twitter, the game’s seven-month delay is “needed to fulfill our vision and achieve the desired state of the game. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is the biggest project in the history of GSC, and it requires thorough testing and polishing.” While S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2‘s delay came out of nowhere this morning, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2’s delay comes just a month after the game drew broad criticism for planning to integrate NFTs. GSC Game World planned to let players spend cryptocurrency on unique items, and even scan themselves into the game as an NPC. The developer’s plans were met with swift, harsh backlash, prompting the developer to ditch them altogether, although the mastermind behind that plan still thinks NFTs in video games are viable.
With its delay, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is one of this year’s first major delays to its second half. Volition’s Saints Row reboot was similarly delayed in November. The game was originally going to launch on February 25 but is currently slated to launch on August 23.
