The studio made the announcement on the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Twitter page.
“Most stalkers know artefacts are born inside anomalies, but no one agrees on why. A gift from the Zone? Emissions? Something else? Duty sees them as a bane of humanity. Freedom calls them a blessing. But in the Zone, every gift comes with a price,” – the developers’ post reads. – Step into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope and uncover new anomalies, mysterious artefacts, and long-hidden secrets of the Zone.”
