The long-awaited sequel S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is set to release early next year, over a decade after it was first announced. The GSC Game World title is the fourth mainline entry in the series, following 2009's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Screen Rant went hands-on with the game this week at Gamescom which gave a glimpse at what can be expected from the full release, while simultaneously raising a few questions about the final product.
