S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope Expansion Launches Alongside Major Update 2.0

GSC Game World has released Cost of Hope, a large expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl featuring dozens of hours of content and new developments in the Zone. The expansion arrives with Update 2.0, which refreshes the game's environments, atmosphere, ecosystem, and gameplay features, though reviews found its faction conflict less compelling than its new survival areas.
