S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Devs Joke About Mutant Cowboys — Meet Red Dead Chornobyl 2
April 1, 2025, 05:54 PM

GSC Game World joined in on the April Fools' fun by releasing a parody video for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The clip features three iconic mutants—Bloodsucker, Burer, and Controller—locked in a Mexican standoff deep within the Zone.
The Zone ain’t no place for three cowboys, Bloodsucker. Time to settle this once and for all, like real mutants. I ain't got the whole day, shoot!
Fans appreciated the unexpected cowboy setting, and one of the community managers jokingly renamed the game Red Dead Chornobyl 2. However, some players criticized the developers for still not releasing a roadmap for the game.
