As we previously reported back in March, development on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl had ceased, as developers GSC Game World (whom are located in Kyiv, Ukraine) faced the ongoing challenges brought with the war. At the time, it was reported that the studio’s employees were either taking shelter or were enlisting to fight against the invasion, thus indefinitely delaying the title. Understandably the decision to cease development made sense, though now it’s being reported that at least a few of the developers have managed to flee to Prague in the Czech Republic and have restarted work on the game in some capacity.

As revealed in an question and answer (via Gry-online.pl) by one of GSC Game World staffer on the Discord channel for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, development is once again “continuing.”

No word yet on how this will affect the release date but it is safe to assume that the delay is likely going to be an indefinite one until the violence in the region has subsided. Mp1st will be here to continue to report on the situation and we extend our continued support to our community members in Eastern Europe and anywhere there is senseless violence.
