S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Ultimate Edition EU Steam Digital Key

A photorealistic descent into the Zone

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl drops you into a 64 square kilometre stretch of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, rendered as a seamless open world following the second explosion of 2006. Mutants, warring factions and lethal anomalies fill the landscape, and every stalker who wanders in is chasing the same rumour: artifacts of extraordinary value, and the Truth said to lie at the heart of the Zone.

The game blends first-person shooting, horror and immersive sim mechanics. Expect branching, non-linear story paths leading to different endings, over 30 weapon types with deep modification options, and mutants that behave unpredictably thanks to varied AI models. The A-life 2.0 system keeps the world feeling lived-in, with survival mechanics such as hunger, bleeding and radiation, a dynamic day-night cycle and shifting weather adding further pressure.

• Season pass with access to all future DLC, including two story expansions
• An additional story-based side quest
• Single player costume skin and three weapon skins
• Multiplayer costume skins and weapon skins for the multiplayer mode
