Earlier today, during the Xbox and Bethesda E3 showcase, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl was further revealed. Offering a fresh look at the upcoming game, we learned that the release date is set for April 28th, 2022. GSC Game World’s upcoming game certainly made a splash during the jam-packed showcase. The new entry into the series looks stunning and terrifying!

Coming in at five minutes in length, the new gameplay trailer gave us our first in-depth look at this gorgeous next-gen title. Introducing various characters, apocalyptic scenery, and freaky enemy creatures, this upcoming game looks thrilling.

It’s been over a decade since the last entry into this series, with Call of Pripyat in 2009. During that time the studio disbanded for a few years, before regrouping and working on this new game.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl will be arriving next year on Xbox Series X|S and PC. The game is also set to release on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
