“Stalker 2 is the biggest project in the history of GSC, and it requires thorough testing and polishing,” wrote GSC, announcing the delay. “We are convinced that development should take as long as necessary, especially in the case of such a project.

“This decision is not an easy one, but we are doing the best possible to deliver you a game that can live up to expectations.”
