The wait for STALKER 2 was (very, very) long, but the GSC Game World has just launched a new crumb to end hungry fans. The new teaser trailer for STALKER 2 doesn’t look like real gameplay, but it was created using Unreal Engine 4 and is designed to give people a sense of what the game will actually look like when we have real gameplay. See how the GSC itself describes the teaser …
[This gameplay teaser represents] how the game really feels: rapid changes of scenery, sinister landscapes and the ever-present feeling of inevitable danger accompanied by an almost imperceptible guitar soundtrack.
But hey, preamble enough, check out the latest STALKER 2 teaser for you, below!
Looking promising! I particularly like how dynamic the world looks – the storm, the swaying trees, the flickering fire. Hopefully, the final game looks so alive. For those who have not followed, STALKER 2 was originally announced in 2010, and many feared it was vaporware, before GSC Game World announced that the project was resuming development in 2018. Here is the official description of the game:
The award-winning PC franchise loved by millions of players is making a real debut on the next generation console with STALKER 2. Experience a unique blend of first-person shooting, immersive simulation and terror. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is a unique, dangerous and ever-changing environment. It promises a lot – artifacts of unbelievable value can be yours if you dare to claim them. The price you can afford, on the other hand, is no less than your own life.
One of the largest open worlds to date, full of radiation, mutants and anomalies, is yours to explore. All the choices along the way not only define your own epic story, but influence your future. Be aware of what you see, do and plan, as you will have to find your way through the Zone or you will be lost forever.
STALKER 2 is scheduled to be released in 2021 on PC and Xbox Series X.
