Stalker 2 was recently delayed by GSC Game World and pushed back to November, which left some players stewing in dismay. It’s not the first time the game has been delayed, but hopefully, it’ll be the last. At Gamescom, the Stalker 2 team hosted a live, hands-on demo of the game, inviting players to enjoy 20 minutes of the intense survival shooter.
During the event in Cologne, the team from GSC Game World opened up about the expansiveness of the game, stressing that it’ll take 100 hours to fully complete Stalker 2.
All By Hand
Speaking to GamesRadar, GSC’s Yevnhenii Kulyk explained that Stalker 2 is ‘huge’ and that it’ll take the average player around 100 hours to rinse it. As he broke down the depth of Stalker 2, he mentioned that the team used almost no procedural generation to create the massive in-game map, which incorporates areas in and around Chornobyl and Pripyat known as ‘The Zone’.
In the report published by GamesRadar, it was stressed that ‘everything you see in the game was actually touched by a human hand.’
Kulyk said:
Everything you may notice or experience in our game was made by the hands of our talented level designers, level artists, team designers, and so on. You will not notice two exact buildings or two exact rooms with the same placement of the same props of meshes or something like that. Every player that is playing Stalker 2 will get their story.
Stalker 2 is one of this year’s most highly anticipated releases. I got hands-on with the game at Gamescom and was blown away by the depth of it. It’s a harrowing experience for players expecting an easy ride, and the world-building is nothing short of stunning.
