Get hype!
STALKER 2‘s first expansion, Cost of Hope, was today announced ahead of its release later this year.
“In Cost of Hope, players once again take on the role of Skif, the protagonist of the core game, as he navigates events unfolding alongside Heart of Chornobyl,” GSC Game World said of the new content.
“After installing the DLC, a signal on the PDA will trigger the new storyline as the game unfolds. As always, your choices shape what happens next — and the consequences could affect not just the Zone, but far beyond it.”
The expansion will introduce two new regions and includes new weapons and gear.
“S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 expansions will be released in installments, with Cost of Hope serving as the middle chapter of the ‘second trilogy’,” GSC Game World continued. “Together with a future story DLC — details of which will be revealed later — it will form a new, expansive narrative arc within the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.”
STALKER 2Cost of Hope is available later this year on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5. We reviewed the base game here.
