Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is set to launch later this month, on 20th November, when it'll be available on Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Steam, GOG, Epic, and GSC's website), and Game Pass.

The studio recently released a documentary all about developing Stalker 2 during a particularly difficult time for GSC. The documentary - War Game: The Making of Stalker 2 - touches on the developer's history and details what it has been like to work on the forthcoming sequel during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Since 2022, GSC has delayed Stalker 2 several times and relocated staff to safely finish the project elsewhere, while others have joined Ukraine's armed forces, and dealt with Russian hackers who leaked test builds.
