Stories Untold brings a whole lot new to the world of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl with hours of new content for you to play through. Oh I do love a free update!

The developers say that depending on your pace, it may take you about five hours to get through the new story bits where you "Discover the mysterious transmission that gives stalkers headaches, nosebleeds, and even hallucinations" that brings "8 new missions, 7 new locations, 6 new characters, 3 new unique items, unique weapon, and more".

On top of that they teased that various previously barren locations are now actually used, and the story may lead you to create a whole new hub in the Burnt Forest region. There's also a new GP37V2 weapon, a modified version of the GP37 with a pre-installed suppressor and a low-magnification scope.
