sports_esports Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
  • Davis 01: The game is a single-player experience. Zula's only companion is her synthetic partner, Davis 01, who communicates with her, provides mission objectives, and helps unravel the story.
    Synthetic (AI)
  • None Expected (Persistent AI Companions): The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series traditionally emphasizes a lone wolf experience for the player character. While temporary AI allies for specific missions or dynamic A-Life 2.0 squad interactions are likely, persistent, commandable companions are not a typical feature of the core gameplay.
  • Temporary Quest-Specific Allies / Faction Squad Mates (A-Life 2.0): During certain quests or as part of the A-Life 2.0 system, Skif might temporarily team up with other AI-controlled stalkers from friendly or neutral factions. They would provide combat support based on their faction's typical equipment and behavior. Their survival would likely not be critical to mission success beyond specific scripted events.
    Human (Stalkers from various factions)
Key Collectibles
  • Audio Tapes & Logs: Found on terminals throughout the facility. These collectibles provide lore and backstory on the events that led to the Xenomorph outbreak at Castor's Cradle.
  • Resources: Scavenged from the environment. This includes essential items like ammunition and health syringes, which are in limited supply.
  • Artifacts: Found within or near dangerous anomaly fields. Require special detectors to locate and often careful maneuvering to retrieve. Provide powerful passive buffs (e.g., health regeneration, bullet resistance, increased carry weight, anomaly protection) but may also have negative side effects (e.g., emit radiation, reduce stamina). Can be equipped in artifact containers on a belt/suit.
  • PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants): Looted from fallen stalkers or found in hidden stashes. Contain text logs, audio diaries, mission data, coordinates for stashes, or information about other stalkers and Zone events. Key for lore and finding hidden supplies.
  • Documents & Research Notes: Found in abandoned laboratories, military outposts, or hidden locations. Provide backstory on the Zone's origins, scientific experiments, faction ideologies, and mutant behavior.
  • Unique Weapons & Armor (Stash Items): Rare, often named, versions of standard gear with improved stats, unique properties, or pre-installed modifications. Found in well-hidden stashes, as quest rewards, or looted from powerful enemies.
  • Zone Folklore Items / Mementos (Speculative): Could include items like old photographs, trinkets, or handcrafted objects that offer small glimpses into the lives of those who lived in or ventured into the Zone before or after the disasters. (Purely speculative, but fits the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. atmosphere)
  • Guitar & Harmonica Songs (Playable by NPCs): Not a traditional collectible for the player, but finding NPCs who play unique songs around campfires is a memorable atmospheric element of the series. Players might collect song 'data' or similar.

  • Shotgun: Primary Firearm
    A powerful close-quarters weapon, effective for dealing with charging Xenomorphs.
  • Revolver: Sidearm
    A six-shooter handgun, likely used as a backup weapon when primary ammo is scarce.
  • Pistols (e.g., Makarov PM, Fort-12, Walther P99, Desert Eagle): Sidearm
    Common sidearms for backup or when primary ammo is scarce. Expected to include classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pistols and new additions. Customizable with suppressors, sights, etc. (Speculative details based on franchise)
  • Submachine Guns (e.g., MP5, PPSh-41, AS Val - integrated suppressor): Automatic (Close to Medium Range)
    High rate-of-fire weapons for close encounters. AS Val variant would be specialized for stealth. (Speculative details based on franchise)
  • Assault Rifles (e.g., AKM-74/2, AN-94 Abakan, L85, G36, FN F2000): Automatic/Semi-Auto (Versatile)
    Workhorse weapons of the Zone. Expected variety of Eastern Bloc and Western rifles, highly customizable with scopes, grenade launchers, silencers, and magazines. (Some confirmed from gameplay, others speculative)
  • Shotguns (e.g., TOZ-34, SPSA14, Protecta, Chaser 13): Close Quarters (High Damage)
    Devastating at close range against mutants and unarmored humans. Pump-action, semi-auto, and automatic variants expected. Can use buckshot or slugs. (Speculative details based on franchise)
  • Sniper Rifles (e.g., SVD, SVU, VSS Vintorez, Gauss Rifle): Long Range (Precision/High Power)
    For taking out targets from extreme distances. VSS Vintorez for silenced sniping. The Gauss Rifle is an iconic, powerful experimental weapon. (Some confirmed from gameplay, others speculative)
  • Machine Guns (e.g., RPK, PKM): Automatic (Suppressive Fire)
    Heavy weapons with large magazines for sustained fire, useful against groups or heavily mutated creatures. (Speculative based on franchise)
  • Launchers (e.g., RPG-7, Bulldog 6): Explosive (Anti-Personnel/Anti-Structure)
    Rocket launchers and grenade launchers for dealing with heavily armored targets or groups. (Speculative based on franchise)
  • Melee Weapons (Knives, Crowbars, Shovels - expected): Close Quarters (Silent/Last Resort)
    Basic melee options for stealth kills, breaking crates, or desperate situations. (Speculative details based on franchise)
  • Throwables (Bolts, Grenades - F1, RGD-5, Smoke): Tactical/Utility/Explosive
    Bolts are essential for detecting anomalies. Grenades for combat. Smoke grenades for cover or distraction. (Bolts confirmed, grenades highly expected)
  • Unique & Modified Weapons (Expected): Special Variants
    Stalkers often modify their weapons. Expect to find unique, named versions of standard firearms with special properties, better stats, or unique attachments, possibly tied to quests or rare loot. (Speculative based on franchise)
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Colonial Marine Armor: Zula wears standard Colonial Marine armor. The game does not feature an armor upgrade system; survivability is based on skill and finding health stims. Cosmetic armor skins are available.
  • Stalker Suits (e.g., Sunrise Suit, SEVA Suit, Exoskeleton, Trench Coats, Leather Jackets): Various outfits and protective suits worn by stalkers. These provide varying degrees of protection against ballistic damage, mutant attacks, radiation, anomalies (thermal, chemical, electrical, psychic), and environmental hazards. Suits often have slots for Artifact containers and may have integrated features like night vision or closed-cycle breathing systems. Heavier suits like Exoskeletons offer superior protection but reduce mobility and require battery power. Can be repaired and upgraded.
  • Helmets & Gas Masks: Headgear providing ballistic protection and crucial for surviving in areas with toxic gas, high radiation, or specific anomalies. Gas masks require filter replacements. Different types offer varying levels of protection and durability.
  • Artifact Containers: Specialized containers attached to belts or suits that allow stalkers to safely carry radioactive or otherwise hazardous Artifacts, mitigating their negative effects while benefiting from their positive properties. Upgradable for more slots or better protection.
  • Backpacks: Increase carrying capacity for loot, supplies, and ammunition. Different sizes and types may be available.
Outfits/Customization
  • Cosmetic Skins: The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a 'Blue Camo' armor and weapon skin. Pre-ordering the game granted timed exclusive 'Alien: Romulus' inspired armor and weapon skins.
  • Stalker Outfits (Trench Coats, Leather Jackets, Hoodies, Camouflage Gear): Players will likely be able to equip various pieces of clothing that make up a stalker's typical attire. While the primary protection comes from specialized Stalker Suits, underlying clothing might offer minor benefits or be primarily cosmetic. Expect a rugged, worn aesthetic.
  • Faction-Specific Gear Appearance: Members of factions like Duty (strict military style, often red/black) or Freedom (anarchist, often green/camouflaged) typically have distinct visual styles for their armor and clothing. If Skif aligns with a faction, this might be reflected in available gear.
  • Patches & Insignia (Speculative): A common element in stalker culture. Players might be able to customize their gear with faction patches or other insignia, though this is speculative for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
  • Masks & Headgear (Balaclavas, Respirators, Tactical Helmets, Hoods): Beyond functional gas masks and helmets, various other head coverings are common for stalkers for anonymity or environmental protection, contributing to the overall look.
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
Skills & Progression

Progression is based on survival and resource management. There are no skill trees or leveling systems. Players must find weapons and tools like a blow torch and wire clamp to access new areas and solve environmental puzzles. Upgrades are not a core feature; survival depends on skill and ammo conservation.

N/A
public World & Exploration
World & Level Design

The game features sprawling, interconnected levels set within the Castor's Cradle facility and the surrounding environment of Purdan. While not an open world, the levels are large and offer ancillary paths for exploration to find extra resources and lore.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will feature a seamless open world of approximately 64 sq km, one of the largest in gaming. It will encompass iconic locations from previous games (e.g., Pripyat, Chornobyl NPP, Red Forest, Cordon - TBD if all are present or reimagined) as well as new, unexplored territories within the Exclusion Zone. The world will be dynamic, with the A-Life 2.0 system simulating life for factions and mutants independently of the player. Expect diverse biomes from irradiated wastelands and dense forests to underground laboratories and abandoned urban areas.

Playable Vehicles
  • None
    The game is focused on on-foot, first-person exploration and combat within the facility. There are no controllable player vehicles.
  • No Player-Controlled Vehicles Traditionally
    The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has traditionally focused on on-foot exploration to emphasize the Zone's dangers and the vulnerability of the stalker. While military vehicles (APCs, helicopters) exist as environmental elements or enemy threats, direct player control of vehicles for general traversal has not been a core feature. This is expected to continue, though specific scripted sequences are always possible.
  • Fast Travel (Guides - Speculative/Limited): NPC Service / Map Traversal Mechanic
    In previous games, experienced stalkers known as 'Guides' could offer paid fast travel services between major friendly encampments. A similar limited fast travel system might return, rather than unrestricted map-wide fast travel, to maintain immersion and the sense of journey.
  • Traversal on Foot (Walking, Running, Sprinting, Crouching, Prone - expected): Player Locomotion
    Primary mode of movement. Skif will navigate the Zone on foot, managing stamina for sprinting, using stealth (crouching, possibly prone), and carefully navigating treacherous terrain and anomaly fields.
book Story & Characters
Main Characters
  • Zula Hendricks: Playable Protagonist
    A rogue Colonial Marine on a mission to investigate a distress call on the remote planet Purdan. She is a trained soldier and hunter.
  • Davis 01: Companion
    Zula's synthetic companion who provides assistance and narrative exposition throughout the mission.
  • The Xenomorph: Primary Antagonist
    The iconic alien creature. The game features a variety of types, including Warriors, Praetorians, and Facehuggers, with advanced AI that allows them to hunt the player relentlessly.
  • Skif: Protagonist (Stalker)
    The new player-controlled protagonist. Details about Skif's background, motivations, and specific skills are largely unrevealed, but they are depicted as a capable lone stalker venturing deep into the Zone.
  • Faction Leaders & Key Members (Duty, Freedom, Loners, Scientists, etc. - Speculative): Quest Givers / Allies / Antagonists
    Expect to encounter and interact with leaders and prominent members of the Zone's various factions. These characters will likely provide quests, trade opportunities, act as allies or enemies depending on player choices and faction alignment. Names and specific roles are TBD but will draw from established S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lore.
  • Mysterious Zone Figures (e.g., Guides, Legendary Stalkers, Zone Cultists - Speculative): Lore Figures / Enigmatic NPCs
    The Zone is known for its mysterious and legendary figures. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will likely feature new or returning enigmatic characters who hold deep secrets about the Zone, its origins, and its future. These could include unique quest givers, hidden mentors, or dangerous ideologues.
  • Scientists & Researchers (Speculative): Quest Givers / Information Source
    Mobile scientific labs and bunkers are a staple. Expect to interact with scientists studying the Zone, its anomalies, and artifacts, who will likely offer research-oriented quests and unique rewards or information.
  • Traders & Technicians (Speculative): Merchants / Crafting & Repair NPCs
    Essential NPCs for buying/selling gear, ammunition, supplies, and for repairing and upgrading weapons and armor. Found in stalker camps and faction bases.
Example Missions
  • Main Campaign (Part One)
    A linear, 8-hour story campaign that follows Zula Hendricks as she investigates the Xenomorph-overrun Castor's Cradle facility on planet Purdan.
  • Main Story Questline (The Heart of Chornobyl)
    A non-linear series of core narrative missions following Skif's journey into the depths of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone to uncover its greatest secrets, likely revolving around the mysterious 'Heart of Chornobyl.' This will involve navigating dangerous territories, interacting with various factions, making critical choices, and surviving encounters with deadly mutants and anomalies.
  • Faction Quests (Duty, Freedom, Loners, Scientists, etc.)
    Optional storylines and tasks given by representatives of the Zone's major factions. Completing these will likely improve Skif's reputation with that faction, unlock unique rewards (gear, information, access to new areas), and potentially influence the balance of power within the Zone. Choices made may alienate other factions.
  • Artifact Hunting Expeditions
    Venturing into dangerous anomaly fields to locate and retrieve valuable artifacts using specialized detectors and bolts. This involves careful navigation of invisible and lethal hazards, and often dealing with mutants attracted to anomalous energy.
  • Stalker Contracts & Bounties (Speculative)
    Taking on jobs from traders, faction leaders, or other stalkers, such as eliminating specific mutant lairs, assassinating rival stalkers, retrieving lost items, or escorting individuals through dangerous areas. (Based on previous games & open-world tropes)
  • Investigating Zone Mysteries & Legends
    Following clues from PDAs, documents, or rumors to investigate mysterious phenomena, legendary stalker tales, secret laboratories, or unexplained events within the Zone. These often lead to unique encounters or valuable discoveries.
  • Clearing Mutant Lairs & Bandit Camps
    Systematically eliminating threats from specific locations to make areas safer for passage, secure resources, or fulfill faction objectives. Part of the dynamic A-Life 2.0 system might see these areas reclaimed by enemies over time if not patrolled.
  • Survival & Resource Management Tasks
    Ongoing objectives driven by the game's survival mechanics: finding food and water, seeking shelter during emissions or hazardous weather, managing radiation exposure, maintaining weapon and armor durability, crafting ammunition and medical supplies, and finding safe places to rest.

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: What is Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition?
    A: It is the non-VR, flat-screen version of the VR action-horror game, Alien: Rogue Incursion. It has been rebuilt for PC and consoles with upgraded visuals.
  • Q: Is it like Alien: Isolation?
    A: No. While both are first-person horror games, Rogue Incursion is much more action-oriented, similar to the tone of the movie 'Aliens'. You fight hordes of Xenomorphs rather than hiding from a single, unkillable one.
  • Q: How long is the game?
    A: It is described as Part One of a two-part story, with a runtime of approximately 8-9 hours for a single playthrough. It ends on a cliffhanger.
  • Q: How does the save system work?
    A: The game uses a punishing, old-school manual save system. You can only save your progress at designated 'Panic Rooms' found in the levels. There are very few autosaves.
  • Q: Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 a direct sequel to the previous games?
    A: Yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a direct sequel, continuing the story and themes of the original trilogy (Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat). It features a new protagonist, Skif, but is set in the same universe and will likely reference past events and characters.
  • Q: What is the A-Life 2.0 system?
    A: A-Life is a dynamic AI simulation system unique to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. A-Life 2.0 promises an even more advanced version where NPCs, factions, and mutants live out their own lives, migrate, fight, and react to changes in the Zone independently of the player's direct presence, creating a truly living and unpredictable world.
  • Q: Will S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 have a non-linear story?
    A: Yes, GSC Game World has emphasized that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will feature a branching, non-linear storyline with significant player choices that lead to multiple endings and impact the state of the Zone and its factions.
  • Q: What are Anomalies and Artifacts?
    A: Anomalies are dangerous, physics-defying environmental hazards found throughout the Zone (e.g., gravitational distortions, pockets of intense heat or electricity). Artifacts are rare, valuable objects formed within anomalies that possess unique beneficial properties (e.g., health regeneration, radiation absorption) but often also have negative side effects. Stalkers hunt for artifacts to sell or use.
  • Q: Will there be survival mechanics like hunger, thirst, and sleep?
    A: Yes, survival mechanics such as managing hunger, thirst, sleep, radiation exposure, bleeding, and equipment degradation are core staples of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience and are confirmed to return in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
  • Q: Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 using Unreal Engine 5?
    A: Yes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, aiming to leverage its advanced features for graphics, world detail, and dynamic systems.
  • Q: Will S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 support mods?
    A: Yes, official mod support has been confirmed by GSC Game World, which is a significant aspect of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community and franchise longevity.
build Technical Details
Graphics & Visual Fidelity
N/A

Developed on Unreal Engine 5, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 aims for cutting-edge photorealistic visuals. It will leverage UE5 features like Nanite (virtualized micropolygon geometry for extreme detail) and Lumen (fully dynamic global illumination and reflections). Expect highly detailed environments, realistic weather systems, advanced lighting, and detailed character/mutant models. Motion capture and photogrammetry are being used extensively.

Audio & Soundtrack
N/A

Expected to feature an atmospheric and melancholic soundtrack, possibly by MoozE (composer for previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games) or similar artists, blending ambient electronic, industrial, and folk elements. Immersive sound design is a hallmark, with distinct anomaly sounds, mutant roars, weapon effects, and the oppressive ambience of the Zone (wind, Geiger counter clicks, distant gunfire).

User Interface (UI/UX)
N/A

Expected to be immersive and diegetic where possible, fitting the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. aesthetic. HUD will likely display health, stamina, radiation levels, ammo, equipped detectors, and time. PDA will be crucial for map, inventory, quests, and information. Dynamic indicators for hunger, thirst, sleep, and bleeding are staples of the series.

Accessibility Options
N/A

To Be Determined (TBD). Modern AAA games typically include a range of accessibility options, so it's likely S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will offer features like customizable controls, subtitle options, UI scaling, and potentially gameplay modifiers, though specifics are unconfirmed.

  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop performance will vary based on the model's cooling and TGP. A modern gaming laptop that meets or exceeds the recommended specs is advised for a stable 60 FPS experience.
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU is essential to handle the advanced graphical features, physicalized fog, and intense lighting effects.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's visually rich and often chaotic encounters will require a laptop with a cutting-edge cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A strong mobile CPU is important for handling the advanced, adaptive AI of the multiple Xenomorph types.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is a critical feature for reducing latency and ensuring the best possible performance in a fast-paced FPS.
  • Game Name: Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition
  • Official PC system requirements from GSC Game World. Performance can vary significantly depending on specific hardware, settings, areas in-game (especially with many anomalies, NPCs, or intense weather), and background applications. An SSD is MANDATORY. This is expected to be a very demanding title, especially at higher settings with Unreal Engine 5 features like Nanite and Lumen.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs will require comparable performance, very high TGP (Total Graphics Power), and excellent cooling. **S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be an extremely demanding title on PC, requiring top-tier modern laptop hardware for an optimal experience, especially at higher resolutions or with advanced UE5 features enabled.**
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP will be absolutely crucial.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Exceptional cooling needed to prevent severe thermal throttling in the dense and dynamic world.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong CPU performance (especially single-core for UE5 and A-Life 2.0) will be critical.
  • Laptop Consideration: R A M Speed Dual Channel: Fast dual-channel RAM (DDR5) will be essential.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus would be critical for optimal framerates.
  • Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Expected to support major upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Global Illumination (Lumen), Virtualized Geometry (Nanite detail levels), Shadow Quality, Texture Quality, View Distance, Anti-Aliasing, Volumetric Effects, and Particle Density will heavily impact performance.
