After several delays, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky will hit store shelves in North America on September 15, according to an announcement made by publisher Deep Silver.

The shooter prequel was originally slated for release September 5, but suffered a delay due to manufacturing problems that saw the game head to stores without the CD codes required for play.

Also, the game was previously set for simultaneous release on Steam, though that plan seems to be on ice at the moment as publisher Deep Silver stated digital download release date “has not yet been determined.”
