Stalker 2 to launch without multiplayer focusing on single-player experience

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl will not include multiplayer at its launch on November 20. Developer GSC Game World has confirmed that the game will focus on single-player gameplay, emphasizing the unique atmosphere of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The decision to exclude co-op gameplay aims to maintain the game's tension and challenge. The series is known for its intense survival elements, where players face formidable threats alone, enhancing the overall experience. While future multiplayer options may be considered, the initial release will prioritize the single-player experience. This approach aligns with the series' legacy and allows players to fully engage with the game's environment and challenges.
