It's time to present the Best Upcoming Indie Games of 2023, as decided by you!

The full standalone mod beta updated to 1.07. Please install the latest patch as well.
"Released Mar 31, 2024"
As of today, there's been no less than five delays for this game, if you're being generous. This is not even a little bit surprising for STALKER fans who don't let emotions cloud their judgement and are able to say things as they are, regardless of any real world events or who it upsets.
This is what happens when you prioritize NFTs and pre-orders before actually starting development. How many more CGI cutscene compilation trailers will it take to convince people that STALKER 2 is a game that exists? Time will tell.
In the meantime some people need to change the chairs they've pulled up years ago, waiting for this to get released, they must be on the brink of breaking apart the way they're being used. As for the disappointed fans that are able to see the facts, there are TONS of great mods to play instead of getting frustrated over Zhdalker 2.
yeah, i dont have high expectations for it...
but even if it fails we still have anomaly, day-z stalker servers and also a remake of the original stalker 2 is in the works (apparently) being done by dezowave
and if the community had access to xray 2.0 sdk that would be huge (as a sidenote to the remake of the original stalker 2)
Could you provide a link for the Original STALKER 2 remake project?
I don't expect this to be as great or memorable as the first 3 games in series, but I still hope that it'll be good regardless.
Here's to many more years of waiting.
umm... "Released Apr 28, 2022"
ok...
oh, they meant the trailer
It's fixed.
i hope ukraine dont take this game for make it like propaganda or ask for donations to steal the money of the innocent gamers community
Found the Z-Tard
Not wanting GSC to rip off their fans like EA and Ubisoft is being a Z-tard????
Okay, by your logic I guess we found the NATO-tard.
