STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was announced in 2001 and was not released until 2007, so news that STALKER 2 is preparing for a launch in 2021, more than ten years after it was originally announced, it is appropriate. Presumably, first-person shooters will once again put on their radiation outfits to survive in Chernobyl while fighting mutants, but the clip released today doesn’t give many hints. A Facebook post refers to the player’s character “Skif” and says “carrying” along with “PDA 2.0”.
Ukrainian developer GSC Game World posted this teaser trailer on the IGN channel on YouTube, with a note saying that it represents “how the game really feels: accelerated change of scenery, sinister landscapes and the ever-present feeling of inevitable danger accompanied by a ill-distinguished guitar soundtrack. ”The short clip is presented in 4K and certainly brings to mind the gloomy atmosphere of the first game, and says it’s our first view of the game on the engine, as opposed to a longer trailer that appeared this summer.
