GSC Game World's 2024 open-world survival shooter STALKER 2 is set to have quite a big 2026, as its first of two planned DLC expansions, Cost of Hope, is scheduled to launch in summer later this year. Officially revealed during the Xbox Partner Preview in late March, the DLC will feature a reignited conflict between two of The Zone's biggest and most well-known factions: Duty and Freedom.
Ahead of the expansion's arrival and at some point in April, however, the devs at GSC are releasing a free content update for the atmospheric FPS titled Sealed Truth — a patch that will expand one of the spookiest locations in the original 2007 STALKER game Shadow of Chernobyl, as well as in the early game of STALKER 2's main questline.
