Brief

GSC Game World officially revealed Stalker 2's first expansion, Cost of Hope, during the Xbox Partner Preview, with a planned release this summer on PC, Xbox and PlayStation simultaneously. The non-linear expansion follows protagonist Skif in a conflict between the Duty and Freedom factions, running parallel to the main story, and adds two new regions: the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the Iron Forest. Each region has its own hub area, NPCs, quests and activities, and the expansion promises new weapons; the developer also confirmed one more story DLC is in the works, forming a trilogy with Heart of Chornobyl, with more details including a release date due in the summer.
