Does this leaker have a lot of credibility? What's their history?

 

[acm2000]

hardly be surprising if true lets be honest

 

[Sygma]

Im good with the five years delay just like the first one

 

[M1chl]

Wouldn't be Stalker without delays.

 

[SJRB]

Big oof

 

[Denton]

Least surprising news ever. I expect 2023.

 

[lastmessiah]

Bummer.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

If that is true that is a major blow to Xbox for this year.

I hope Starfield does not get delayed also

 

[Markio128]

 

[adamsapple]

I hope this ain't true.

But they've barely showed the game off so it won't really be surprising either.

But I really fucking hope it's not true.

 

[Plantoid]

I hope not,

But at least it gives me full time to concentrate on elden ring

 

[fermcr]

Sad news!... but if it's to improve the game, then let it be.

 

[Braag]

Considering the state of previous Stalker games when they were released, I'd rather not rush them for an early release.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

April seemed like a great time to release the game. Fall, not as much.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Whatever, I hope they get it right at launch.

 

[Negotiator101]

If that is true that is a major blow to Xbox for this year.

I hope Starfield does not get delayed also

Must be joking right? Why is this a major blow? We don't even know beyond a few games what Xbox has this year, but they certainly have more than what we already know about.

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Kacho]

Good lord lol

 

[Mato]

Wow. That's almost a year away.

 

[reksveks]

that's a long delay

 

[Salz01]

Holy shit, thats a hard core delay.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Fine for me, take your time and release a stable game.

 

[MayauMiao]

Probably trying to de-NFT the game engine.

 

[kikkis]

I understand month or two delays, but how can you be this clueless about the state of your own game?

 

[jshackles]

Dannnng

 

[Lognor]

WHAT.THE.FUCK.

I was actually kind of shocked though that it was supposed to come out in a month and we've seen so little of it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this, but delaying to December is quite a bit longer than I would have thought.

 

[Deerock71]

What's next on Game Pass?

 

[kingfey]

 

[kingfey]

What's next on Game Pass?

a turd called extraction, which coming out this month.

 

[CitizenZ]

Well, knowing the dev I said it would be unfinished when released and even with the delay, still stand by that statement.

 

[kyussman]

Fine with me......I was looking towards the end of the year before jumping into next gen anyway with an eye towards Starfield(surely I'll be able to pick up an XSX easily by then,lol).

 

[adamsapple]

Jesus H that is a much longer delay than I was expecting ..

So much for playing the first UE5 game in 3 months.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Epic bruh moment

 

[Stitch]

But don't forget to pre-order

 

[wipeout364]

That’s good, if there is an issue or feature creep it allows them the breathing room to get it done. All we do do is criticize bad launches on here so we should be happy that GSC is willing to push it to get it right.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Jesus I thought the rumoured delay was just for 2 to 3 months

Don't be another Cyberpunk lol

 

[dem]

Time for MS to buy another Game Pass day one..

 

[mansoor1980]

oof

 

[kyliethicc]

Non-fungible delay?

 

[Mercenary09]

Sooo no big exclusives for Xbox for the entire first half of the year yet again huh. Redfall is probably going to be the first now and that isn't until Summer if it doesn't get delayed too.

 

[skit_data]

Dammit, was hoping to play this on PS5 in 2022 at least. Now it will be 2023 release for sure.

 

[Starfield]

Sadly I won't have time on December 8

 

[CheeseCake]

Potentially the first of many delayed games this year.

 

[Lognor]

Sooo no big exclusives for Xbox for the entire first half of the year yet again huh. Redfall is probably going to be the first now and that isn't until Summer if it doesn't get delayed too.

Haven't you figured out the pattern yet? Sony never has a big exclusive in the second half of the year and Microsoft doesn't have one in the first half of the year.

 

[Deerock71]

a turd called extraction, which coming out this month.

I'm pretty sure I'll still be playing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition until STALKER launches.

 

[onesvenus]

Let's see how Microsoft responds to this. It was my only game for the first half of the year...

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Sadly I won't have time on December 8

Thankfully Todd is a nice guy so he'll give you the extra time you need

 

[Kacho]

Redfall is probably going to be the first now and that isn't until Summer if it doesn't get delayed too.

I'm not holding my breath on that hitting its date. That assumes it will even be good.

 

[Lognor]

Time for MS to buy another Game Pass day one..

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking. Now I'm sure Microsoft was informed of this delay well before today, so Extraction could be that Game Pass exclusive they locked down in response to this delay, but I tend to doubt it. Is it too late for Elden Ring?
