While STALKER 2 launched in a less-than-polished state due to a multitude of factors, the team at GSC Game World have been diligently updating and improving the game with thousands of bug fixes, an overhaul to its A-Life system and more. Focusing more on the story side of STALKER 2, a new free update has now been announced – arriving later today.
Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, GSC Game World unveiled their latest free update. Arriving today, this narrative-focused update introduces a brand new storyline which offers plenty to do and find, including:
- 8 quests “that can take hours to complete”
- 7 new locations
- 6 characters “with their own backgrounds and stories”
- A new unique weapon
- A hub to create
Details on the new storyline can be found HERE, but in terms of gameplay content the ‘unique weapon’ is said to be the GP37V2 – a modified version of the GP37 rifle which includes an integrated suppressor and scope alongside alterations to its firing pattern.
In addition, some of the pre-existing locations have been refreshed somewhat, “now re-inhabited by stalkers”. Perhaps the biggest inclusion with this update is the new Hub “appearing in a not-so-populated area of Burnt Forest.”
STALKER 2 certainly came a bit too hot out of the oven. Fortunately, the team at GSC Game World appear committed to ensuring that this title serves as a worthy follow-up to the classic STALKER trilogy. The full blogpost can be found HERE.
