The price of the Deluxe Edition has increased to 1,899 hryvnias, and the Ultimate Edition will now cost 2,549 hryvnias.

Previously, the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World published a new trailer dedicated to the game world and various locations for players to explore. It showcases how the Zone’s regions are detailed, from the bleak swamps to the sinister streets of Pripyat, each with its own unique atmosphere and history.

 

At the recent Developer Deep Dive presentation, the developers showed a walkthrough of one of the story quests, revealing even more details about the gameplay. Zone in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is presented as an open seamless world where every corner hides its secrets. The exploration of this territory promises to be a real test, because it will not be easy to reveal all the secrets of the Zone during the passage.

 

GSC Game World also announced the postponement of the release of STALKER 2, setting a new date for November 20 this year. Nevertheless, orders are already open: the standard edition can be purchased for 895 hryvnias, and the more advanced versions Deluxe and Ultimate Edition will cost 1,199 and 1,599 hryvnias, respectively.
