‘Stalker 2’ reveals a new trailer and PC system requirements

A new trailer for Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl has been released, with Ukrainian-based developer GSC Game World also sharing the PC requirements for the first-person-shooter survival horror game – both of which can be seen below.

The studio has also relaunched pre-orders for Stalker 2, after Xbox stopped accepting them in September 2022. Xbox also started refunding those that had previously pre-ordered Stalker 2, because the game had been postponed to an “unconfirmed date in the future”.

Stalker 2 was originally set for release in December 2022 but in June, GSC Game World confirmed the title would be delayed until 2023 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The studio also shared a video showing the reality of creating a game while dealing with bombings and military service.

There is still no concrete release date for Stalker 2 but GSC Game World seems confident the game will launch in the first half of 2023. Check out the new trailer below:

Stalker 2 comes in three digital editions. The Standard Edition (£49.99) comes with a handful of bonus skins, while the Deluxe Edition (£64.99) includes a unique side quest, the official soundtrack, an artbook as well as bonus weapon skins and costumes for both single and multi-player. The Ultimate Edition (£94.99) comes with even more skins, costumes, two story expansions and a season pass. Fans can pre-order the game here.

GSC Game World is also releasing four physical versions of Stalker 2 that include a variety of real-world extras including backpacks, figurines, maps, patches, and art books. Check them out here.

Died in an anomaly. Shot by Loners. Found with a stone around his neck. Thrown off a cliff. Torn apart by dogs… Here, at the Zone, feel free to choose your destiny.
