Enter the Zone When S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl Launches April 28, 2022 -

The new fancy detector is called Gilka. Which means “a stick” in the Ukranian.

That fancy thing Skif picks up is an artifact called Jelly. In game, it recovers your stamina.

There is actually a teaser of new faction. You can notice it during the Chemical Plantgunfight section. We won’t say the actual timecode to make it more interesting.

The town in the dancing man scene is Chernobyl-2. The strange waltz-loving man has a hideout in Chernobyl-2. That’s a town not so far from Pripyat you have seen in the gameplay teaser.

The person at the end is Sergiy Grygorovych, the creator of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

In our Ultimate edition, the artifact is truly special. With some high-level magic, it floats in the air.

The building you see on the horizon during the rooftop scene can be found on the official key art. Any ideas what it can be?
