The release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl may take place on 1 December: one of the online shops on the shooter's page noticed this date

It is already known that at gamescom 2023, which will be held from 23 to 27 August in Germany, not only will there be a new demonstration of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, but also the developers from the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World will allow visitors to personally try out the long-awaited shooter.
Here's What We Know
The release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl has been repeatedly postponed: first COVID-19 pandemic made adjustments to the developers' plans, then a full-scale war started in Ukraine, then Russian hackers leaked a huge amount of game materials, up to its early build.
Most likely, another release date will be announced at gamescom 2023. But, according to Insider Gaming portal, there is a high probability that the shooter will be released in the early days of December. This is indicated by the page S.T.A.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl on the Plaion shop website, where it is stated that the game will start getting sold on December 1.

The first to notice this fact was Twitter user Andrew Marmo.
