Explore ‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl’ With the New Developer Deep Dive Video [Watch]

After announcing another release date change last month, GSC Game World has come back with a Developer Deep Dive video for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Touted as “the biggest and the most comprehensive update on the game yet”, the video features a variety of never-before-seen content, including interviews with the devs, and new footage of the game, including a full video walkthrough of one of the story quests.

“We know you might be tired of waiting, and we truly appreciate your patience,” said Yevhen Grygorovych, Game Director at GSC Game World. “These two additional months will give us the chance to fix more “unexpected anomalies” (or simply “bugs”, as you call them). We are always grateful for your ongoing support and understanding – it means the world to us. We’re just as eager as you are to finally release the game and for you to experience it for yourself.”

In addition, thanks to the pre-order page on the Xbox Store for the Ultimate Edition of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, it’s been revealed that the game will receive two post-launch expansions as part of its Season Pass. That’s on top of the other goodies you’ll get in the Ultimate Edition, which includes a special extra quest, additional costume and weapon skins, a digital artbook, and a digital copy of the game’s soundtrack.

There are also pre-order bonuses available, which include “Early Bird” skins and “Extended Campfire Content”.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl launches November 20 for the Xbox Series, the Xbox Game Pass, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
