Ahead of the launch later this summer of “Cost of Hope”, the first expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, GSC Game World has announced the release of the new smaller-scale content update with the Sealed Truth Update. Serving as a complimentary update in celebration of the upcoming expansion, this free update adds a new narrative-driven activity centered around the mysterious X-Lab, expanding the Zone with fresh story content and “high-risk opportunities.”
Deep beneath the Zone, places like X-Labs remain sealed behind massive doors or buried under the consequences of failed “research.” Rumors are now spreading among stalkers that Diod, a technician from Slag Heap, has somehow gained access to the lower levels of X-18. Diod isn’t interested in loot — only in something he desperately needs. And it just so happens that you might be the only one capable of getting him inside.
Players can expect a high-risk, high-reward excursion with the Sealed Truth Update, filled with mystery, danger, and unknown consequences. Aside from the payment, more may await. Be it lost knowledge, useful gear, or something far more significant hidden deep within the lab.
Meanwhile, the Cost of Hope DLC expansion will be coming to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl owners on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
