Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

(Updated)

I know what you are thinking… typo? That is not on our part and was exactly the same thought we had when we first saw this. When Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was first announced they used the spelling ‘Chernobyl’, however the new name reflects the Ukrainian form rather than Russian since a lot of the development team are from Ukraine – plus general support for the country during these hard times. This post apocalyptic first person shooter does look like a lot of fun and is being heavily praised by fans of the previous game! Launching exclusively for Xbox and PC with a day one release on Game Pass September 5th.
