The Ukraine continues to be a popular tourist trap for mutants and Geiger counter salesmen. GSC Game World will again revisit the Eastern European country in
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, an upcoming "stand-alone expansion" to
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
The Escapist recently culled some rad details on the upcoming title from the pages of Russian mag Gameplay, which reportedly referred to the game as a sequel set just days after the events depicted in the 2007 original.
Among the particulars is information that players won't be able to side with factions this time around, with more 'varied' and 'detailed' side quests promised instead. Day and night cycles are also said to figure more prominently in the game, with the article claiming that the developers are aiming to fix "mistakes" made in both the first game and its prequel,
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. Check out the full translation, as well as scans from the magazine on the
FPSBanana forums while we wait in our lead bunker for
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat to drop sometime this fall.
