After an absence of several months, the developer of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has released a new review of the game and, as we expected, the show contained the same exciting, mysterious and terrifying atmosphere that we witnessed and characterized the previous parts of the series.

While we are in the process of knowing the official release date of the game, some news has surfaced about Microsoft asking the game's developer, GSC Game World studio, and putting great pressure on them to enter into vigorous negotiations to include various minorities on a large scale within the game world, and here what is meant by minorities As stated in the United Nations definition is a national, ethnical, religious, linguistic or cultural group whose numbers are smaller than the rest of the population.

The rumor is that Microsoft managed to persuade the Ukrainian developer to include minorities in a big way, and that the deal was widely protested by developers within the studio under the pretext that “minorities don’t become the majority, otherwise it won’t work well,” which was denied by one of the community managers. The studio is fully on its official Discord channel, which confirmed that Microsoft didn’t ask for this in the first place, and that the rumor that was circulating is completely false.

In the same context, we remind our followers that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl was developed using Unreal Engine 5, and the developer, based in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, announced that it will complete work on the game after achieving victory over Russia in the battles that are currently taking place. According to him.

We remind our followers that the game was supposed to be released on Xbox Series X | S and PC on the Game Pass subscription service in the first half of this year, but that wasn't the only delay the game suffered. It is scheduled to be released in 2023.
