STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting its first proper expansion this year, titled Cost of Hope, and it looks stuffed to its icky mutant gills with classic STALKER series beats that the base game – while a powerfully engrossing survival FPS – missed out on. The Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant returns as an explorable, doubtless horrible addition to the game’s open world, and the story concerns the conflict between the rival Freedom and Duty factions that’s been simmering since the original STALKER.
This sounds like an exciting addition to the STALKER 2 universe! Expanding the game with new locations and experiences is always a great way to keep players engaged. Looking forward to seeing how the Chornobyl power plant is integrated into the story!
