In 2012, the announcement of “STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl” followed swiftly on the heels of their initial success. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as expected and the game embarked on a rather intriguing path, starting with delays in development, then surviving through a real-world conflict, and finally switching engines for its production. After multiple setbacks, it was finally released in November 2020.
In essence, an overabundance of something good was problematic, as demonstrated by the Stalker remasters when they launched in May. The enhanced re-releases of the original X-Ray-engine games encountered an issue where your save files would pile up without limit. By the end of my gaming session with Shadow of Chornobyl, I had accumulated over 200 saves stored somewhere on my computer, and simply attempting to access the Load Game menu made the game run sluggishly, almost as if it were intoxicated.
The title of the post in r/AmIOverreacting reads: “Should I report this nursing student to her school for persistent threats, harassment, and stalking?” In essence, the original poster (OP) is currently going through a divorce caused by her husband’s infidelity. According to OP, the woman involved in the affair has been consistently bothering her with threatening messages and phone calls.
In the intriguing preview for Stalker 2, characters within the game were seen playing Stalker 2 on a PlayStation console. To make sure his soldiers, who seemed to be transforming into zombies, could take their turn, the Colonel was tricked into checking on them by the first-person perspective of the player. Although it would have been advantageous to display some gameplay earlier, this creative approach is commendable. As per the trailer, Stalker 2 is slated for a PlayStation release in late 2025.
The PlayStation 5 edition optimizes the use of DualSense controller capabilities such as haptic feedback and adjustable triggers, enhancing players’ immersion, while also catering to additional technological advancements tailored specifically for the PlayStation 5 Pro model.

As a thrilled supporter, I’m excited to share that today, we were treated to a fresh trailer confirming the highly-anticipated release of the shooter game in “late 2025.” However, they didn’t specify an exact date yet.
The first launch of Stalker 2 was rocky with numerous glitches, even though it had several delays. Yet, this can be forgiven considering the geopolitical hurdles experienced by GSC Game World, which resulted in their move from Kyiv to the Czech Republic.
In an unusual, self-referential preview video, using game graphics, soldiers gather around a colonel who seems relaxed, controlling what looks like Stalker 2 on a TV with a device similar to a PlayStation controller. Later, it’s made clear this is indeed a PlayStation-like controller.
