H2 Interactive (CEO Hur Jun-ha) announced that "Cost of Hope," the new expansion for the Korean version of the first-person open-world action game 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl'—currently available on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X—has officially released today (August 21). To celebrate the launch, a promotional discount on the base game of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and related content will be held on Direct Games.

The Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant—forbidden for decades—has begun calling to stalkers once again. You must cut your way through the mazes of the Iron Forest and never-before-seen locations to reach the power plant. No matter who you tell about this adventure, no one will believe you.

Peace established between bitter rivals is like a sheet of glass bound to shatter. Choose a faction to march forward with amidst a tangled web of sinister schemes and half-truths. Between Duty and Freedom, with nothing clear and even the truth uncertain, you must make your decision.

Face new horrors and wonders. On a harsh and unforgiving journey filled with nightmare new mutants, lethal anomalies, and threatening humans, the newly added weapons and armor will save your life.

Venture into the heart of the Zone in this massive new non-linear expansion. Packed with dozens of hours of gameplay, haunting stories, and strange characters... experience once again the signature S.T.A.L.K.E.R. atmosphere, where a flicker of hope burns bright amidst decay.

What is the cost of hope? The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga enters a new chapter, and you are the one writing it. Your choices will change everything, shaping both the journey and its outcome.
