BTW don't think bad about that... in fact it is reasonable.
The developer is Ukrainian and some employees even entered in the war.
They even had a developer diary when they show how is being the frontline of the war.

Yeah man these people are at war.

Yeah I mean people were talking about a 2023 release, but that always seemed highly optimistic.

even without the war this was was always vaporware

 

[Shmunter]

Microsoft can’t catch a break

Rumors about moving to Czech but I’m not sure if true or how many employees did moved.

The fact they are making frontline war diaries shows there are a lot them there yet.

Here was when Eurogamer said they were moving to Czech: https://www.eurogamer.net/gsc-game-world-resumes-stalker-2-development

It's the Gamepass curse

But on a serious note, I hope they remain safe and are able to release the game the way they set out to do

Good luck to the devs. Hope they are safe and ship a good product whenever they are ready.

The biggest question if they will have structure (physical and financial) to ship a game when the war ends... hope it will be all fine but wars don't follow wishes
