The gaming world is abuzz with the latest development in the STALKER series. Recently, several new gameplay images of STALKER 2 have surfaced on the Epic Games Store, alongside intriguing “pre-order” visuals on the game's social media platforms, such as Facebook. These images, initially appearing as a leak on Reddit's r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, were later confirmed through updates on the game’s social media pages.
One of the most notable features in these images is the revamped HUD, suggesting a fresh gameplay experience. Renowned YouTuber antitosolV hinted that more gameplay footage could be released at any moment, adding to the anticipation among fans.
For those eager to see these images, they are available for viewing on the Epic Games Store.
The buzz doesn't stop there. With the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct scheduled for January 18, speculation is rife about a potential announcement regarding STALKER 2. However, Xbox has only confirmed the presence of 1st party games at the event, leaving STALKER 2's appearance uncertain.
STALKER 2, officially titled 'STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl', is eagerly awaited by fans, especially since it's confirmed to be available on the Xbox Game Pass service from day one. This has led to speculation about a possible shadow drop of the game.
Set for release in early 2024, the exact launch date of STALKER 2 remains under wraps. The game's development, led by Ukraine-based GSC Game World, has faced challenges due to the ongoing conflict in the region. Despite these hurdles, the game has been showcased at events like Gamescom, indicating that it might still be on track for its planned release window.
