🌻 Only when you realize the Cost of Hope will you find the strength to fight for it.

The first major expansion, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope, is now available. The expansion launches alongside the free Update 2.0, “Back to the Zone”, which features our biggest overhaul yet of how the Zone looks, feels, and comes to life.
It's nice to be Back to the Zone, isn't it?

Skif will have to choose between the two beliefs of Freedom and Duty and try to discover for himself what is hidden at the center of the Zone, which until now has been closed to all stalkers.

Today on Digital Foundry, it's time to take a look at STALKER 2 on PS5 and PS5 Pro. It's a great port which benefits from the past year of updates, including the excellent patch 1.7. We also retest PC and Xbox Series X: youtu.be/aA7Q7Duh5S0

💪 Stalkers, meet Update 1.7 Expedition — new difficulty level, A-life improvements and more.

See you in the Zone.

Stalkers, welcome to the newest update of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.☢️
First of all, thanks for staying in the Zone, or joining it after the break to try new changes in Update 1.6. Secondly — let’s not waste any more time and jump straight to the details of Update 1.6 because we have a lot to share : store.steampowered.com/news/…

Season 8 of The Finals has a new feature called 'Smooth Destruction' that can allow destruction from other falling structures. This looks awesome.

Stalkers!
We know it took more time than you expected, but we are finally here to present the Game Update List for the rest of 2025 (Q3 and Q4), which includes updates to both S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and the Zone Kit Modifications Tool.
Our main mission in the near future is upgrading the game to Unreal Engine 5.5.4. This will bring new features and tools to make the Zone an even better place, but more importantly — bringing the latest Unreal Engine 5 optimizations will lead to better stability and performance.
But this could shake up the timing of other updates. We’re taking this risk — like true stalkers would — and will do our best to hit our 2025 goals. Stick with us on this journey and keep an eye out for upcoming news, including bigger and exciting ones. Yep, that news, too!
Thanks for your continued feedback and support. Without your help, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you!

I've never played F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin before, so I almost didn't believe my ears when I heard the guy saying this line.

Last set from SIRCAA I wanted to share is The Mole - underground complex beneath the institute. I wish we had more time to work on this location, but I still liked the end results. Also provided support for cutscene you may have seen at the end.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 SPOILERS AHEAD
One of the most fun parts of working on SIRCAA was tearing it apart after we've made it so clean and polished. Altho it was a brief moment, we made a lot of effort to make it memorable and impactful for players.

X-11 lab is a major story location in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and it was fun working on lighting here! SIRCAA has extended on top of it, mixing the old legacy and new generation of Zone's research. I also helped with a cutscene that takes place inside

As a big fan of original trilogy, I'm glad I had a chance to work on lighting in DK Energetyk. It's small but important hub that you visit near the end of the game. Be aware that locals might not trust you, Pripyat is a dangerous place after all
