Here is an overview of the update, via GSC Game World:

IllFonic, the studio known for multiplayer horror games based on popular franchises, is creating a new game based on Halloween. They’ve previously made similar games featuring Friday the 13th, Ghostbusters, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and Predator.

In a recent interview with Edge magazine (via PC Gamer), Obsidian Entertainment’s Verpakhovskyi reminisced about classic games like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and Arcanum, both developed by Troika Games – the team behind the original Fallout games. He noted that while those older titles were often glitchy and imperfect, they possessed a unique charm similar to what’s now called ‘Eurojank.’ Because of this, he believes it’s inaccurate to limit the ‘Eurojank’ label to games from a specific region.

We recently started using the term “Fontslop” to describe the frustrating visual issues with the game Marathon, particularly its user interface and fonts, which many players disliked when it first came out.

The new DLC was revealed at the Xbox Partner Preview and promises a significant expansion to the game’s story. Called Cost of Hope, it will add a lengthy new storyline – lasting dozens of hours – along with two new areas to explore, new weapons, and unique anomalies. It will also deepen how you interact with the game world, potentially connecting to the A-Life system which simulates the environment.

You might recognize the studio as the creators of games like Sniper Elite and Atomfall, but their new project is a departure from their previous work, offering a completely different feel.

Here is an overview of the expansion, via GSC Game World:

In a recent post on Xbox Wire, Mykyta Horodyvskyi, Brand Manager at GSC Game World, shared details about their upcoming expansion.

The recent announcement wasn’t a surprise, considering STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl released in November 2024 with a season pass. This pass, included in the $109.99 Ultimate Edition, guaranteed all future content, including two story expansions. While the open-world shooter-RPG has received several major updates since launch, GSC Game World hadn’t revealed details about those expansions until today.

There’s one character whose reputation is incredibly strong, and we’ll finally get to see him shine in STALKER 2. Everyone in the Zone, get ready to welcome back the one and only Zulu!
