S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is one of the most highly anticipated games of 2023, aiming to utilise the full power of Unreal Engine 5 to fully immerse gamers within the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, an area that’s filled with deadly anomalies, violent mutants, warring factions, and artefacts of unbelievable value. 

Today, GSC Game World have released new screenshots for STALKER 2, showcasing incredible visuals across various locations. The game takes place within a 64-km² radioactive open world, and the images shared today highlight the game’s post-apocalyptic atmosphere and and ultra detailed environments.

STALKER 2 is due to release this year on PC and Xbox Series X/S, becoming available as a standalone game and through Microsoft’s Game Pass Subscription services. The game aims to ship with Benchmark-setting graphics that have been enabled using Unreal Engine 5, and cutting-edge photogrammetric/scanning technologies. Additionally, the game uses motion capture for the faces and bodies of its NPCs, adding realism to the game’s movements and facial animations.

On PC, STALKER 2 will launch with mod support, allowing gamers to extend and enrich the game with new content following the game’s launch. A multiplayer mode is also planned for STALKER 2, though it will be added post-launch as a free update.
