The continuation of the cult STALKER has been awaited for more than 10 years, and when the first trailer appeared two years ago, everyone, having received what they wanted, breathed a sigh of joy. And, despite the postponements, the project will still be released this fall.
There is little time left before the release of the game, which is why we decided to collect information and tell you about the plot and main characters of the upcoming STALKER 2.
Plot
The game will take place several years after the events of “Call of Pripyat” and will not contradict the plot of the previous parts. The Zone itself has changed during this time: green leaves appeared on the trees, flowers grew, and there were many more sunny days. But despite this, the monsters have not gone anywhere, and the Zone itself still has a frightening atmosphere and is fraught with horror.
From the released trailers it is known that scientists were able to connect to the noosphere – the information field of the Earth. This event became so significant that it is compared to the conquest of space by humanity.
It is known that the main character will be a stalker nicknamed Skif, who will be drawn into a conflict over the “Heart of Chernobyl”. What it is is unknown. Probably, during the game, the hero will have to find a mysterious artifact and decide the fate of the Zone.
According to the developers, the plot will be non-linear and will have at least four endings. Also, it will not be possible to complete STALKER 2 100% the first time.
The actions will unfold according to the direction that the hero chooses during the passage. That is, some quests will become unavailable, and those that will correspond to the character’s storyline will appear.
Main characters of STALKER 2
Skif will be the main character of the game, but, alas, very little is known about the character yet. The authors revealed his appearance and spoke about his intentions to go to Pripyat to talk to some person.
Vagabond is a sniper, a former member of Monolith, and one of the characters in Call of Pripyat. In the trailer, he gives the hero his lucky charm, but his role in the plot is still unknown.
Korshunov is the leader of the Varta group, an experienced soldier who created a faction of highly skilled mercenaries. Varta does not seek to destroy the world, their goal is to control the borders of the Zone so that it can serve people in the future.
Faust is the first successful experiment of O-consciousness to create a sentient controller who did not become a mutant, but only lost his sight. In return, he was able to acquire psi-abilities. He will become one of the plot bosses.
Dalin is a scientist conducting experiments in the Zone.
Richter is a stalker obsessed with the Zone, he is not afraid to laugh at anomalies.
There is very little time left before the release of the long-awaited game. The developers do not reveal details, but we are definitely in for something interesting and worthwhile!
