The explosive combination of first-person shooter, immersive sim and horror is back in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, unprecedented in scale, advanced graphics, freedom of choices and the thickest atmosphere of a deadly adventure.

A long and tedious road.
The hostile and treacherous Zone.
Unbelievable treasures that might cost you everything.
A blood trial, separating your old life from a new one...

The unique combination of first-person shooter, immersive sim, and horror is back. With unprecedented scale, advanced graphics, freedom of choices, and the thickest atmosphere of a deadly adventure, it’s going to be the ultimate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience.

Welcome to The Zone — an area of exclusion around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, a seamless open-world environment full of radiation, mutants and anomalies, it keeps drawing adventurers from beyond the perimeter.

Through everything, the Zone found her own way to bloom and thrive. Luring seekers from all over, gifting with wonders protected by the unknown, desolation, and human sins.

Bounty hunters dwell deep into the Zone, driven by its treasures and mysteries. These people are known as stalkers.

Are you ready to become one of them?


It’s time to pack your backpacks, stalkers, the Perimeter entrance will be open soon. We are ready to reveal what awaits those who pre-ordered S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl in the Zone, in addition to anomalous gratitude from our team!

Pre-order bonuses:

  • “Veteran” Rifle: “I'll make it, whatever it takes. I'll buy my own house... near the river, at the forest edge. No more radiation, no more beasts, no more freaking bastards.”
  • “Tourist” Suit: The former owner of this suit had an excellent understanding of weight distribution and echeloning of equipment. Redesigned pockets, a corset that relieves the back, additional pouches and a travel backpack allow you to carry more weight, which is very handy during long raids into the Zone.
  • Unique “Stalker” Backpack: Exclusive backpack model with an Early Bird patch.
  • Campfire content: Guitar tunes & Additional stories

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will feature a branching story with multiple endings. Players will have to constantly make uneasy choices with tough consequences — some of them changing the world itself.

The unique simulation system called A-Life from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy is getting on a new level with A-Life 2.0. With different behavior of characters and mutants, the Zone changes constantly. Every playthrough will be unique with lots of things happening every moment, even if the player doesn’t witness them directly.

Since the very start of Russia's full-fledged war against our country, GSC Game World has been supporting Ukraine in all the ways possible. For those willing to do the same, we recommend following this link to the official charity fund of Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine himself.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S as a console launch exclusive on November 20, 2024, available through Xbox Game Pass on day one.
