After multiple delays, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is set to bring us back to the Exclusion Zone in November, and according to GSC Game World's PR manager, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft ha🤪s been very supportive of the 🐭team throughout the first-person shooter's development.
The team at Ukrainian developer GSC Game World has faced incredibly challenging working conditions while producing Stalker 2, with the war in Ukraine forcing the devs to pause production in 2022 and relocate to Prague. It's understandable that the game's release en💛ded up being pushed back, and according to PR manager Zakhar Bocharov, Microsoft itself has been considerate in this regard. The Xbox owner isn't publishing Stalker 2 – GSC Game World is doing that itself – but the two do have a deal to put the upcoming FPS title on Game Pass on its release day.
, Bocharov says that the company hasn't just been supportive by not enforcing "demands" for Stalker 2's release date, but has even "helped in situations" where it wasn't strictly meant to. He reveals: "Microsoft doesn't put any demands in terms of the release date or the content."Expanding on this, Bocharov adds that he personally "never expected a corporation of this size to be so supportive." He adds: "I can't say the exact cases, but they helped in situations where they were not exactly suppose♛d to. So they could easily [have said], 'No, that's not🅷 on us. That's with you guys. Good luck. Figure it out.'"
The PR manager continues, noting that Xbox head Phil Spencer has personally been "very supportive and cari൩ng" 🤪to the devs, and reiterating the unexpectedness of the corporation being so "close to the developers who are in a bad situation." He concludes: "That's the professional connection we value a lot, because it would have been much different without them."
While we'll never know what Stalker 2 may have ended up looking like without Microsoft's support, hopefully the final version will live up to fans' expectations on November 20. I had the chance to play the first 30 minutes of the game at Gamescom, and even though I got my ass kicked more times than I'd care to admit, the visuals and perfo෴rmance were great, leaving me feeling optimistic for its l🐼aunch.
We'll just have to wait and see if Stalker 2 ends up being one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FPS games.
