The official release date for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is Sept. 5, 2024.

STALKER 2 is set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, where hostile enemy forces are the least of your concern. Animal mutations and bizarre anomalies plague the civilization-less Zone, where exploration is at the heart of STALKER 2‘s story.

You play as a Stalker, fueled by morbid curiosity for the rare and valuable artifacts that collect dust across the Exclusion Zone. There is a Truth out there, but can you find it in your non-linear adventure? With a release date set, get your Geiger counter ready because radiation poisoning is inevitable out in this barren wasteland. It’s time to enter Chornobyl in September.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be released on Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and is available for pre-purchase on Steam.
