The developers at GSC Game World recently gave players and their game an early Christmas present when S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl received a huge and first set of major updates, which is making the gameplay a little better again especially with A-life addition and performance improvement.
They’re not done with that though, as they have a lot of plans for 2025, as they told players and fans through a statement. In it, they thank you for your support, highlight a new patch that will allow players to enjoy playing during the holidays, and outline what’s next for them. Of course, more work is in the works for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but the previous titles in the series will also receive care as part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy collection, which was released in March.

“A next-gen patch for the console versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy will be released next year,” the developers said in a statement, but that’s not the end of the news. “We know you’ve been asking us to update the PC versions of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, and we plan to do that as well,” they add to the delight of fans, suggesting to keep an eye on social media for more information. As of now, we don’t know the exact date or time period when we might see patches and updates. Likewise, we’ll have to wait for details on what all the next-gen versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series will offer. On the PC, however, it’s a safe bet that the long-running S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, which came out in 2007, 2008 and 2009, will get the treatment after a really long time, whatever it may be. We can only speculate about the content and enhancements so far. We should hopefully learn more in early 2025, when the studio will be ready to share a roadmap for the coming year for the sequel, which doesn’t preclude information about other games and projects.
