S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the long-awaited sequel to the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, developed and published by GSC Game World, with a planned release date for the first quarter of 2024 on PC and Xbox Series consoles. It is a first-person survival horror shooter game, like the original trilogy, and is set to return to the Zone, now rendered beautifully in Unreal Engine 5 and featuring proper character voice acting and motion capture, along with vastly better graphics.
Initially announced following the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, it was initially planned to have released in 2012, before it was ultimately cancelled on the year of its intended release. The game resurfaced years later in 2018, with the release date set for 2021, later delayed to 2022. The real-life Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 delayed the release yet again to 2023 while the title was changed to "ChOrnobyl" to reflect the native Ukrainian spelling of the word. In August 2023 it was again delayed to 2024, pushing it past the point where the gap between announcement and release narrowly under that of Duke Nukem Forever. It will be the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game published in 14 years since 2009's Call of Pripyat, and the first to be released on consoles.
The following weapons appear in the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl:
Pistols
Heckler & Koch USP Tactical
What appears to be the frame of a Heckler & Koch USP Tactical is seen in the weapons stash in the gameplay trailer.
Makarov PM
A Makarov PM appears in an official screenshot. It is shown more prominently in the "Come to Me" trailer.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The MP5A3 appears in the gameplay trailer with the same general look as in the previous games, including the left-handed ejection port. A quick-detachable suppressor is seen being equipped to the weapon in the trailer.
OTs-02 Kiparis
The OTs-02 Kiparis appears in the "Come to Me" trailer and in a screenshot released to promote the 2023 GDC preview. It is chambered in 9x18 mm. The HUD shows it is (incorrectly) full-auto only
PP-19 Bizon-2
A PP-19 Bizon-2 appears in some official screenshots. It appears to use the magazine from the early Bizon-1.
MAC-10
The MAC-10 appears in a screenshot released to promote the 2023 GDC preview. It is chambered in .45 ACP. The HUD shows it is full-auto only, indicative of a converted semi-auto only example.
Shotguns
Over and under shotgun
An Over and Under Shotgun appears in the game, with ornate engravings on the weapon's receiver. Unlike the previous games, it is now a composite model; the rear of the receiver looks like a TOZ-34, while the front looks like an IZh-27. In addition to the above, it also has an IZh-17's trigger guard, with a characteristic spur opening lever (even if that doesn't make obvious sense here). One can also be seen next to a dead bandit in a screenshot released to promote the 2023 GDC preview
