It’s been a long time coming, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl finally has a launch date for the Xbox and PC, and will be radiating this April.
Stalking again
Yes, it’s actually happening. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is coming. Announced years ago, then seemingly cancelled, and finally revived at the 2020 Xbox showcase, GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is finally on the way.
If you remember the original game in this now-series, that’s a very good thing. Loaded with atmosphere and some great action too, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was a gem, and is still a favorite of fans on the PC. Now it’s branching out though, also heading to Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is based on a fictional universe in an altered timeline set in Chernobyl. The unique blend of first-person shooter, horror and immersive simulation lets players loose into a huge open world in a post-apocalyptic setting. The first gameplay of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl premiered during Microsoft’s E3 2021 showcase and has since then received numerous “Best of the Show” awards from media throughout the globe.
Koch Media
In addition to the game actually arriving for play, it’ll also be getting a physical release. Koch Media will be providing that, with a boxed edition coming to the Xbox Series X|S. Though, there might be more to that since the press release mentions the PC edition as well. Could there also be region-limited boxed PC version coming? Could be the case.
Whatever the case with that though, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is definitely rocketing towards it’s launch on both platforms. Expect to see it on April 28th, 2022.
