However, the team determined that it needed more time to finish the game on its own terms, citing the ongoing war in Ukraine and the significant genre shift of the sequel compared to their previous titles as reasons for the delay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeveloping a game during a war isn\u2019t something you can ever really prepare for, but something you need to keep adapting to,\u201d Frogwares head of publishing Sergiy Oganesyan said in a press release. \u201cAt one point, we were losing power for days as drones and missiles hit our power grid. When that tactic stopped working, it became mass drone swarms every other night, going from midnight until dawn. You work all day, then spend the sleepless night listening for explosions, and somehow still need to function the next morning\u2026 These things all slowed us down regularly to the point where it just doesn\u2019t make sense to try to rush what we have left to meet a date that we no longer feel is worth chasing. How Moscow\u2019s tactics to terrorize civilians will change again as winter comes is anyone\u2019s guess, so we\u2019d rather be ready to adapt again, knowing we\u2019re able to take our time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frogwares lead game designer Alexander Gresko added, \u201cSwitching to survival horror for the first time has been a whole new kind of challenge for us in itself, too. We\u2019ve been making investigation adventures for more than twenty years, but survival horror asks for a completely different kind of design thinking. Tension, pacing, combat, etc. We\u2019ve always loved the genre as fans, but once you start building it yourself, you realize how much you still have to do. It\u2019s exciting, but it definitely makes development slower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oganesyan continued, \u201cWe don\u2019t have an exact date set for 2026 yet, but we thought it was better to at least share what we do know. We\u2019d rather be certain than announce something now only to move it again. Rest assured, we\u2019re currently aiming for the first half of 2026, so it\u2019s a matter of months, not years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frogwares also shared 13 new screenshots showcasing the game\u2019s setting, enemies, and atmosphere, as well as promised that it will be \u201cshowing a lot more gameplay over the next few months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AD: content --><\/p>\n<p>View the screenshots at the gallery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Screenshots\"><\/span><span>Screenshots<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
