S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 DLC Teaser Unveils Chernobyl Secrets and New Gear in Just 3 Seconds!
As we have already reported, at the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview show, which will take place on March 26, Ukrainian studio GSC Game World will present new content for the sensational shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Earlier, The fog over the Chernobyl NPP dissipates: the first teaser of the DLC for STALKER 2 is presented that the events of the first expansion (there are two planned) will unfold directly on the territory of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which is currently impossible to visit in STALKER 2.
Now in the Partner Preview Microsoft teaser, a three-second fragment was shown, revealing a lot of interesting details.
What the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Hides
In three seconds, the experienced eyes of stalkers identified the administrative premises of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant — this indirectly confirms that the show will focus on DLC, not the massive update 1.9 (although information about it cannot be ruled out either).
Fighters with red gear details may be members of the "Duty" faction, and the spatial anomaly in the engine room looks like a source of major problems that players will have to solve.
