S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Expansion To Come To U.S. February 2
The second expansion for atmospheric Russian first-person shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will be coming to our shores courtesy of Viva Media. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat adds several new locations to the radioactive Zone surrounding the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown. As an undercover military agent, players will infiltrate the various groups that operate in the Zone as they attempt to determine the fate of five helicopters which mysteriously disappeared.
As in previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. titles, players will have to scavenge what equipment they can in a bid to survive the hostile environment and denizens of the Zone. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is as much of an adventure/exploration game as an action-packed shooter. With original developer GSC Gameworld at the reins of this expansion, there's no reason the franchise's unique mix of survival horror, adventure, and action elements won't shine through again.
