Both of these elements were worked on by 30 narrative specialists. To quote Grigorovich:

"Creating a non-linear story is the biggest challenge when it comes to games, and we consider the story to be one of the most important elements in our title. We're really proud of how we've managed to shape it."

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S.
