STALKER 2 Devs Prioritize Team Well-being Over Delays, Promise Future Fixes

Ukrainian developer GSC Game World released Stalker 2 last month despite multiple delays and development challenges exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine. The game received mixed reviews due to performance issues, but delaying it further was not an option for the exhausted team. The development process, described as running multiple marathons, was a testament to the team's resilience and commitment to their homeland. The release, alongside a documentary on the game's making, highlights the developers' struggles and aims to raise awareness of Ukraine's situation. Despite challenges, the game has been well-received in Ukraine, and the studio continues to work on patches and future projects.
