November 20 is to close to Christmas and ahem...Spring 2025...(Release WINDOW) and they still haven't revealed much and won't answer questions yet about the game...(we can argue about this) but if this game is really in good condition they have to release it without more delays...They have already used the word *final* and royally pissed alot of people ...and made fools of us all. I will say Nay...it won't be delayed again because if it is...im gonna just wait till its in the bargain bin for 4.99 steam sale!

There's nothing to "argue" about or even debate. They've been very closed lipped about many features many have been curious of. We've all asked but been told multiple times about their NDA and what GSC Prophet can or cannot share.

This close to release, that is worrying, no matter what game it is. I've never seen a game so closed off from showing itself off like this, and actually succeed both technically and financially. It's worrying.

It's the same exact type of situation where a developer declares a review embargo until the day of or after release, and we all know how the vast majority of those situations go.

By contrast, games that have been transparent and have shown off a lot have been by and large successful. Space Marine II is doing an absolutely stellar job in terms of marketing and community communication with everything they've shown, for example. More transparency and more communication almost always leads to more good will and better sales, but here we keep hearing things like "We cannot share at this time" over and over when questions are asked. When can anything be shared? We're three months away from "release" unless another delay happens, and if it gets delayed again it might just kill whatever good will is left.

YES they will.

If they have to delay again, i think they gonna try hold out till April 26 2026 for the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.

Hopefully the game will be released earlier, and that date will rather be kept for an event or big update.

delayed to 2026 because of gtavi

[re5pect77]

delayed until Russian language is added

[Ancient Do$hu Desu]

Small delay please as my birthday is in December lmao, would be a nice bday gift

[Toxicwire†]

I think so. I jokingly but seriously on their suggestion channel on Discord said "Release the game on November 20th, no more delays" followed by a serious suggestion and THEY DELETED IT, lol.

I've seen several articles about how the devs are talking about how they wanna finish up the game but don't give a solid date then I see other material where they say we can step in the zone on the 20th. They're not giving us solid yes or no - they keep being skittish about the date and that's enough for me to say no now.

A real good indicator (at least the logic in my eyes) will be if pre-orders (physical) truly open up by beginning of October - if not then I say it's 100% delayed if we don't get that by beginning of October.

Yea

[Trouser_Dune_Worm]

Yep...still not enough gameplay shown

[Seamless Zone Stalker]

The lack of transparency is a big no no

[randir14]

Yes, all the recent trailers and Gamescom stuff is just to build hype for pre orders. They will announce another delay and give some excuse about "in order for STALKER 2 to be the best it can be..."

[petrolhead]

If they delay again, there is a big chance that anyone who hasn't refunded their pre-order will do so, you can only delay for so long until people start to lose interest. Whilst I am a huge fan of the game, there is a chance another delay and I may cancel my pre-order, sure many others are feeling the same.
