STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Gets Stunning New Trailer and Screenshots

GSC Game World has published a new trailer for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Titled 'Not a Paradise', the trailer shows off the game's gorgeous Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals as well as the Ukrainian voiceover, the only one available in the full game alongside English.

After many troubles and a long development time, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be released on September 5 for PC and Xbox Series S|X. Microsoft has a three-month console exclusive, so PlayStation 5 gamers might get it before the end of the year in a best-case scenario. The game can be pre-ordered on the official website, Steam, and GOG. Game Pass subscribers will get it on day one.
