During the Xbox Partner Preview presentation, GSC Game World announced a story expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The DLC is titled Cost of Hope, with a release planned for summer this year.
“A fragile peace between Duty and Freedom is about to collapse. The depths of the Zone, closed for decades, are opening once again to stalkers. Ahead lie dangers and wonders never seen before — this is just the beginning.
Prepare for new expeditions into the Zone in a large nonlinear expansion, featuring dozens of hours of gameplay, unforgettable stories, and unusual characters. A new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga begins — shaped by your decisions and actions. It’s time to overcome obstacles and explore the unknown.”
Recall that at a Street Fighter 6 tournament, the best player will receive a blood pressure monitor as an additional prize.
