After a lengthy delay following Russia's war on Ukraine, it seems like the premiere of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting closer. The only thing we know is that it is supposed to be released before April 1, and now GSC Game World has updated all their channels on social media, and have also replaced the HUD on released screenshots with an updated and likely final version.
The latter is a small detail, but shows they all of a sudden need to get the images to look right, which is likely a sign that the studio is preparing for the release.
Some people speculates that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl might get shadow-dropped during the Xbox Developer Direct (it is included with Game Pass and timed-exclusive) on Thursday, but that is probably just wishful thinking, although there are exactly two and a half months left before Q2 so we probably won't have to wait much longer for a release date regardless.
