S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl

GSC Game World dropped a pretty sizable update for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl last month to celebrate its PS5 release, but it’s far from one. Tomorrow, it’s adding a new story with eight quests offering hours of new content spread across seven new locations. Check out the trailer for “Stories Untold” below.

The story follows Malachite and a mysterious signal that causes Stalkers to suffer hallucinations, headaches and other such trauma. While Banzi assists Professor Medulin in his investigation, things take a turn, and they require help. You’ll receive their transmission while wandering the Zone and can proceed to the Red Forest Region to learn more.

Of course, there’s also a new hub to visit in the Burnt Forest, complete with a trader, guide, and more. Other new characters abound throughout, but you also get a new weapon – the GP37V2. As the name implies, it’s based on the GP37 with a suppressor, single and burst fire modes, and more, though you can modify it accordingly.

For more details on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, check out our review of the PS5 version.
