Oblivion-Lost.com has a story up speculating that the release of
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has slipped until 2006, offering the
following quote from THQ responding to questions about the game's absence from
their recent financial reports covering releases through the middle of next
year: "We have no definitive release date yet for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We do expect to
have some announcements, including a public demonstration this summer. More news
to follow." In an amusing side note, the THQ's
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Website (thanks
Rhialto) actually lists the game as "now available," much to the amusement of
those who frequent the
GSC Game World Forums.
