After years of waiting and some postponements, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is finally available. As many players expected, the title unfortunately suffers from numerous bugs. Fortunately, GSC Game World is well aware of this and promises to improve the situation.
GSC Game World discusses the future of GSC Game World
The Ukrainian studio shared a long, emotional press release, in which it confirmed its desire to make fixes “as soon as possible, and as frequently as possible”. Once this stage has passed, GSC Game World will begin rolling out larger updates, which will provide “constant improvements.”
The company once again reminds that players will be able to count on free content and will share a roadmap on this subject in December.
We already know that the studio will roll out mod support on consoles and PC in the future, as well as a free multiplayer mode. Finally, we know thanks to the Season Pass that two story extensions and other DLC will see the light of day.
Note that the Ultimate edition, offered at €110.99, includes this famous Season Pass. While waiting to find out more, you can enjoy STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl on Xbox Series X|S and PC. It directly integrated Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
The GSC Game World press release translated into French
Chers stalkers,
It seems completely unreal to say this, but STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is out now. It's totally crazy. The whole history of development has been too.
Despite all the obstacles, we are there. Our greatest game, our own story, our love letter to Ukraine. After more than 15 years, the doors of the Zone are open again.
This is a very important, very exciting and very memorable day for all of us.
STALKER has a special meaning for every fan. We hope that those who have known the universe for a long time will immediately feel at home and recognize this same Zone. For newcomers, we hope that you immerse yourself in this magical, alien, and all-powerful Zone and that its unique emotions stay with you for a long time.
It’s a project of infinite passion on the part of the entire team. We truly believe that this passion will be felt throughout the game – you will feel it in the handmade world, in the laboratory, in the poppy fields, or during the first broadcast, or in an intense battle against a bloodsucker, or when stylishly reloading your new weapon, or even seeing Prypiat under the glow of the moon. There are so many things about the game that we are incredibly proud of.
Nonetheless, STALKER 2 is a huge game. We understand that in a game like this there can still be imperfections: we literally haven't released anything on this scale before. We are absolutely committed to being there, monitoring your feedback, and quickly resolving any issues that need our attention. In the first days after release, we will work with fixes, releasing them as soon as possible, and as frequently as possible. Then we will move on to bigger updates that include constant improvements. There will also be free content in the game – we will share the roadmap in December. We have big plans for the STALKER universe. In a way, today is both a return and the beginning of a great journey.
We're glad to have had you before, we're glad to have you now. The Zone is yours. Have fun.
With LOVE The GSC Game World team
