Initially announced following the release of Call of Pripyat, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was planned to release in 2012, before it was ultimately cancelled on the year of its intended release.[1][2] The game resurfaced years later in 2018, with the development restarted and powered by Unreal Engine 5. It was scheduled to release on December 8, 2022, but due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, development for the game was put on hold.[3] However, the development team later stated on their official Discord server that the development process continues, and was scheduled to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S in early 2024.[4][5][6] It was delayed again, for further polishing, with a release date of 5 September 2024.[7]
