DELVE INTO THE HEART OF DISASTER IN “THE ART OF S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: HEART OF CHORNOBYL”

 

See what dangers await you in the Zone!

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (September 17, 2024)— Dark Horse Books and GSC Game World present The Art of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Get a glimpse into the making of the anticipated first-person shooter survival-horror video sequel. This stunning hardcover volume features concept art of rugged characters, horrific monsters, dangerous locales, clever equipment, and more!

When the Chornobyl power plant mysteriously exploded again in 2006, deadly anomalies emerged from the troubled landscape to threaten humanity. Now, mercenaries known as stalkers enter the irradiated zone to recover valuable artifacts with supernatural abilities. To obtain these artifacts, the stalkers must fight for survival against the horrifying mutated monsters that lurk in the ruins of Chornobyl.

“The atmosphere has always been a fundamental part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe – the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is one of our main sources of inspiration. We are glad to have the opportunity not only to pay tribute to the art aspect of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but also to convey the feeling of being in the Zone to our players in another way. I would say this artbook is a passion project coming from our own passion project – and thus it feels significant.”—Ievgen Grygorovych, Game Director and CEO.

The Art of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl (208 pages, 9 x 12″, hardcover) will be available in bookstores on May 27, 2025 and in comic shops on May 28, 2025. The book is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW, and wherever books and comics are sold. It will retail for $49.99.
