Stalker

In the intriguing preview for Stalker 2, characters within the game were seen playing Stalker 2 on a PlayStation console. To make sure his soldiers, who seemed to be transforming into zombies, could take their turn, the Colonel was tricked into checking on them by the first-person perspective of the player. Although it would have been advantageous to display some gameplay earlier, this creative approach is commendable. As per the trailer, Stalker 2 is slated for a PlayStation release in late 2025.

The PlayStation 5 edition optimizes the use of DualSense controller capabilities such as haptic feedback and adjustable triggers, enhancing players’ immersion, while also catering to additional technological advancements tailored specifically for the PlayStation 5 Pro model.

The upcoming PS5 version of the game was revealed in an entertaining new video, starring a recognizable figure from Stalker 2. I won’t ruin the surprises, so feel free to watch it here if you’re interested.
