Vladislav Nikolaev
GSC Game World has revealed its roadmap for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl support in the latter half of 2025. Expect new quests, anomalies, binoculars, and more to arrive in the Zone.
Coming Soon:
- Engine update to Unreal Engine 5.5.4 (for optimization)
- Varied night vision devices
- Binoculars
- A-Life system improvements
- New quests
- New anomalies
- New weather type
- "Master" difficulty level
- Extended day/night cycle
- Reworked stash contents
- Reworked stamina-boosting drinks
- Immersive visual mode
- UI improvements
- Further optimization
- Modding tools enhancements
"Our main mission in the near future is upgrading the game to Unreal Engine 5.5.4. This will bring new features and tools to make the Zone an even better place, but more importantly — bringing the latest Unreal Engine 5 optimizations will lead to better stability and performance. But this could shake up the timing of other updates. We’re taking this risk — like true stalkers would — and will do our best to hit our 2025 goals. Stick with us on this journey and keep an eye out for upcoming news, including bigger and exciting ones. Yep, that news, too!," said the developers at GSC Game World.
As a reminder, the developers previously announced Patches 1.5.3 and 1.6 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
