First Person Survival Shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Revealed During Xbox Games Showcase

During the Xbox Games Showcase the long awaited return of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series was revealed. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was announced to be coming sometime next year. Check out the official trailer here:

This marks the first time a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game will be playable on a console and the first entry in the franchise since 2009’s Stalker:Call of Pripyat. The franchise is credited with creating an incredibly tense and unique atmosphere based around and inspired by Chernobyl’s real life ruins. The series blended horror and first-person role-playing systems in a survival game. While ambitious in its goals the Studio GSC Game World and the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games have been plagued by delays, buggy launches and a studio closure.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 takes place in a world where a second explosion took place at Chernobyl in 2006, creating a radiated place called The Zone where mutated creatures live and that bounty hunters explore. It is based on the world of the Russian novel Roadside Picnic and the film Stalker. The lengthy acronym title stands for “Scavengers, Trespasser, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers,” which are the people that are attracted to The Zone and the mysteries within it.

Using a system called A-World 2.0, the game controls the state of the world and the behavior of characters and mutants, making the Zone ever-changing and truly alive. Countless events and encounters will happen every moment — even if you are not around to witness them with your own eyes.

While we know that the game will be coming to pc and to consoles exclusively for the Xbox Series X, no specific release date has been revealed for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
