So if you’re looking to play the older Stalker entries before the new one comes out, I’d suggest skipping this section. Please note that the following discussion of the previous games may contain spoilers.

Let’s discuss each one and see how they fit into the grand narrative of the Stalker universe. All Stalker Games So FarĮven though the latest entry will be called Stalker 2, there have been multiple entries released before. Every corner has a new danger lurking so staying on your toes is mandatory. So, you are dropped into this power struggle in a mutant-filled world and scarce ammo and resources. Additionally, there’s a Duty Faction that wants to destroy the Zone and a Freedom Faction that wants the zone to be accessible to everyone. Now stalkers are either lone wolves or members of a rival faction. Now The Zone is home to anomalies that create “Artifacts.” These are objects that have psionic powers that Stalkers search for themselves. This heavily radiated area around the explosion was known as “The Zone.” The Stalkers It also heavily mutated all life around the area i.e. In 2006, this scientific experimentation led to a catastrophe that caused a meteorological phenomenon.

According to Stalker’s lore, the 2nd exclusion zone is part of the U.S.S. The story starts by explaining how there was a second nuclear explosion after the first (actual) one.
#S.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2 release series#
Stalker series world is based in an alternate Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. It’s a brilliant way to squeeze in the game’s tone and setting into the name itself.
