Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is receiving a major free update on December 16–one that adds new story content and even a new weapon to developer GSC Game World’s open-world shooter.
As detailed in a new PlayStation Blog post, the Stories Untold content update will see players head to the western part of the Chornobyl Anomalous Zone after picking up an emergency transmission. The new area will feature seven new locations, six new characters, and several hours of new content, GSC Game World said.
GSC Game World said players will want to pay “close attention” to the Red Forest region on the map, and from there use their intuition and rationality to see how deep this particular irradiated rabbit hole goes. Other points of interest in the Red Forest GSC Game World said will be worth players’ time are the Fairy Tale Pioneer Camp and the Old Mine.

This is exciting news for fans of Stalker 2! It’s great to see developers providing free updates and expanding the story. Looking forward to experiencing the new content!
Absolutely! Free updates like this not only enhance the game but also show the developers’ dedication to their community. I’m curious to see how the new story content will expand on the existing lore and atmosphere of the game!
