GSC Game World announced that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has moved from its Q1 2024 release plan, to have a final release date of September 5th, 2024.
While we don’t know yet how it will run on Steam Deck or desktop Linux with Proton, it’s likely to be one of the most popular releases on PC this year so it’s worth keeping an eye on.
Speaking about the delay, GSC said “While there is absolutely no way to make another delay sound less dim, we decided to be clear about our reasons to postpone the game for the sake of yet another wave of polishing”.
Continuing they mentioned showing it off at Gamescom 2023 to a small set of people, but it showed the game needed more time in the oven for technical issues to be solved.
So if you’ve not played the originals, you’ve now got a bit of extra time to jump into them and they all work on Linux desktop with Proton.
game engine OpenXRay got taken down on GitHub, but it was later reinstated since the DMCA was fraudulent and GSC actually gave it their blessing.
Nice to see another company look after their players and understand projects like that are actually good for their older games.
