GSC Game World has launched the “Sealed Truth” update for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, introducing a new story-focused experience around the X-Lab. This update adds more narrative content and gameplay possibilities to the game’s Zone.
Here is an overview of the update, via GSC Game World:
Explore the X-Lab
Far below the surface of the Zone, facilities like X-Labs are locked away, either behind strong barriers or hidden by the results of dangerous experiments. Word among stalkers is that Diod, a mechanic from the Slag Heap, has managed to get into the deeper parts of X-18.
No one knows what is really happening down there. This is your chance to find out.
Risky Gig with High Reward
Diod doesn’t care about treasure; he’s after one specific thing he urgently needs. And Skif seems to be the only person who can help him get to it.
It seemed like a straightforward trade: we’d give them access to the lab, and they’d give us a large sum of money. However, things in the Zone are rarely that easy.
Prepare for a dangerous mission with the potential for great rewards. Beyond the money, you might discover forgotten secrets, valuable equipment, or something truly important hidden inside the laboratory.
New Context in the Zone
This new content adds to the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, offering a short but impactful story that explores the secrets of the X-Labs.
This update is a special gift to celebrate the upcoming ‘Cost of Hope’ DLC and to show our gratitude for the community’s continued support of the game.
The highly anticipated game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. You can find it on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Microsoft Store. Plus, a new expansion called “Cost of Hope” is scheduled to release this summer.
