#STALKER PLAYER PC SERIES#
The original Stalker series is kept fresh by a passionate and dedicated modding community. You'd better get started! Will Stalker 2 support modding? "At the same time, we recommend to complete the previous games for the maximum level of immersion."
"Stalker 2 is a standalone project that can be enjoyed on its own," it said on GSC's site. If you want a second opinion, GSC Game World has its own answer to that question: Yes, you do. That's not official, that's just my personal directive to you because two of the Stalker games (Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat) are excellent. Do I have to play the other Stalker games before I play Stalker 2? Expect to see a lot of reflections in those radioactive puddles. GSC has confirmed RTX support (opens in new tab) for Stalker 2 on the Xbox Series X and Series S, and 4k resolution for the Series X, which means we can safely assume the same features will come to PC.

The following day NFT involvement with Stalker 2 was retracted, proving that the answer to 'what are ya selling?' was not, indeed, NFTs. On December 15, GSC Game World announced a tie-in with NFTs-a sort of blockchain auction for players to be able to get themselves scanned onto the faces of NPCs, or have access to "unique" items. Well yes, but then no, and now hopefully it continues to be no. There's also a cameo at the end from Sergiy Grygorovych, founder of GSC Game World.įinally, if you want to see some earlier footage from Stalker 2, there was also a teaser (opens in new tab) back in 2020 that "demonstrates the level of graphics and atmosphere we are aiming to achieve on release" as well as an in-engine teaser (opens in new tab). If you want to get a blow-by-blow explanation from the devs themselves, this Stalker 2 dev highlights video gives us some commentary on bits from the gameplay trailer above, where we learn there's a small detail that hints at a new (possibly military) faction. It definitely looks very Stalker-y, as we see a headcrab-esque monster get sucked into an anomaly, and Skif uses a new detector and some thrown bolts to avoid another, followed by the acquisition of a precious artifact. Then there's an expedition into a bleak-looking swamp to find an artifact. We also see some on-the-fly weapon modding, some rather nice-looking explosions, and an encounter with a bloodsucker-a monster seasoned Stalker players are quite familiar with. It's a bit more Call of Duty than we'd expect from Stalker combat, which typically involves being real careful and not rushing headlong into a group of enemies. Then we get a look at some gunplay as a Stalker, named Skif, raids a camp. It begins, as everything Stalker-related should, with a group of mercenaries sitting around a fire while someone plays the guitar. Let's watch the other Stalker 2 trailersįirst, you can point your eager anomaly detectors (your eyes, I mean) at the Stalker 2 gameplay from E3 2021. From the recorded conversation that serves as narration for the trailer, it sounds like Stalker 2's plot will involve an effort to "venture forward to a new, better humanity" by harnessing the forces of the Zone. This Enter the Zone cinematic teaser trailer gives us a look at what kind of mood will be waiting for us in the Heart of Chornobyl. The future is unknown, but we hope for the best, are ever sure of our armed forces and our belief in Ukraine." When Russia declared war on February 24, it was one of the first game development studios to speak out, with a statement that read, in part: "Our country woke up with the sounds of explosions and weapons fire, but is ready to defend its freedom and independence, for it remains strong and ready for anything. GSC Game World is based in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine. How has Stalker 2 been affected by the war?

Stalker 2's official site states the PC version will launch simultaneously with the Xbox version. It just means PlayStation owners will be out of luck. That's a confusing phrase, but it doesn't mean PC players will have to wait. Yes! The Stalker series has always been on PC, but Stalker 2 is also a "console launch exclusive" on Xbox. Though development has now resumed, the ongoing warfare has understandably slowed the game's production. However, that was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which forced GSC Game World to suspend work. Initially, the sequel was set to release in April of 2022 before a delay into December.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently due to release in 2023.
