Stalker 2 release date

Stalker 2 was due for release in the first quarter of 2024, 16 years after the previous title. However, the game has since been delayed one "final" time to September 2024, so make sure to check the PCGamesN Stalker 2 release date for all the latest news and updates. The delay is a blow to fans, but, considering the game was originally cancelled back in 2012 (the original release date for the game), it won't be long until players can dive into the Heart of Chernobyl.
