Developer GSC Game World has announced another delay for Stalker 2 - this time pushing the game out to November 20th, 2024. This open-world FPS is still hitting Xbox Game Pass on day one, but it's now arriving roughly two and a half months later than scheduled.
This latest delay is "giving the team breathing room to address technical issues with the game and bring the final release closer to the experience that the fans expect". You can check out the developer poking fun at its newest delay in the trailer up above.
Alongside this unfortunate news, GSC is also here with a more positive announcement. On August 12th, the team will be working directly with Xbox to unveil "the most comprehensive look yet" at Stalker 2 - featuring "never-before-seen content, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage" and more.
