S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a first-person shooter survival horror game developed by the Ukrainian game studio GSC Game World. It serves as a sequel to the acclaimed original trilogy, set in the fictional Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The development process has been significant and historic, as the studio faced massive disruptions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, eventually relocating a large part of its operations to Prague, Czech Republic, to complete the project.

The game is published by GSC Game World with support from various digital distribution partners and Xbox Game Studios for platform exclusivity on Xbox and PC. The brand represents a major symbol of Ukrainian cultural export in the gaming industry, maintaining independence under its original founders while expanding its operational footprint across Europe.
