Following Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl’s recent delay to November, developer GSC Game World has rewarded patient fans with a new 35-minute deep dive into the post-apocalyptic horror shooter sequel – showcasing a mission across its bleak, beautiful open-world.
Stalker 2’s “huge” world – officially known as the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone – consists of 20 regions, each with its own residents, anomalies, and nature. It’s also said to feature few barriers, meaning players are free explore locations as they choose – with the goal being to “give the feeling of freedom, to give the feeling of loneliness, to give the feeling of anxiety”.
While GSC’s deep dive offers a good look at Stalker 2’s strikingly varied enviromental work, the bulk of it is focused on the swamp – a formerly inhabited region, free of Stalkers but home to many other dangers, that plays host to a quest in which players must disable deadly, repurposed psi-beacons in order to reach the Clear Sky base.
