Following Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's recent delay to November, developer GSC Game World has rewarded patient fans with a new 35-minute deep dive into the post-apocalyptic horror shooter sequel - showcasing a mission across its bleak, beautiful open-world. Some of those choices might be tied to missions - at one point we see the player opting to approach a key location from the comparative safety of a rat-infested wine cellar rather than the potentially deadlier overground - while others are more organic. GSC's full 35-minute deep dive features plenty more tidbits of information - including a little about the routines of different people in the Zone, and the dynamic nature of factions, which can sometimes change their leader, even break up - and it's well worth a watch, if only to goggle at its gorgeously bleak environments.
