Stalker 2 has finally gifted us with their Q2 roadmap, and it is such an honor to see the hard work these people are bringing forth to the series after such a long and tumultuous road of delays and pushbacks before this beautiful moment. In all honesty, the heart of Chornobyl is one complex beast, and the game world for sure has their work cut out for them living the zone like that. I may not be half as locked in as those scientists, but hey! We’ve found our own anomaly, one we get to break down ourselves

What’s Shootin’ Good Lookin’?

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has already had a lot of patches and bug fixes working on keeping the game as playable as possible, which means they must have realized how much delight (and tears) the brokenness of their other games has brought the fans, and would rather we those things from intended sources, while’s it’s not quite (beautifully) there yet, the roadmap shows the dreams outside it. One of those shiny visions is adding two new weapons to cradle loving at night. Oh, and mutants that eat human corpses. It kind of goes hand in hand, doesn’t it?

And So Much More

They didn’t just fill our hearts up with bullets and targets, no, no, they’re spoiling us. Stalker 2 Q2 roadmap is offering he warmth and delight of adding squirrels to the party! Look at them run around! As long as they don’t become the new rats, I think I will trap one in a shed and name him Fred. I like walking, Fred, don’t forget that. In the gameplay aspect, your human friends will now comprehend flanking and cover when a grenade flies at them, which is something they deserve a pat on the back for. There’s also a host of general fixes to enjoy around the barrel.

Even Though It’s Not Time Yet…

Stalker 2’s official Q2 roadmap is showcasing how determined the studio is to making their games shine the best way they can. We all know the complex situation they are in, and it would be understandable if they had given up on all the hard work that is etched in the essence of every model. It was rigged from the start, and yet, the number of patches and updates that have been released since launch is such a testament to their tendency. I have full faith in this game and am so excited to see it grow! Till I die of radiation. Again.
