Developer GSC Game World has today announced that its anticipated sequel STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl is being delayed from its original April 28 launch date to much later this year, December 8. There are no firm details on what has caused the delay beyond citing more time required for further testing and polishing.

When STALKER 2 finally does arrive, it will be launching across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. For more information, head on over to the game’s official website.
