GSC Game World has released bonus-packed content for owners of the Deluxe and Ultimate editions SALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

To better understand the new approach to bonus content delivery in SALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, we sat down with two guests from GSC Game World, the developers of the game.
Q: Can you tell us more about the rationale behind hiding the bonus items in Zone caches instead of immediately providing them to Deluxe and Ultimate Edition owners?
Guest 1: We wanted to make sure that players who invested in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions really felt like they were getting something special. By hiding these items in Zone caches, players need to explore the game world more thoroughly, which we think adds a layer of excitement and discovery to the overall experience. Plus, it’s always nice to find something unexpected while playing a game!
Guest 2: Another reason is that we wanted to reduce the temptation for regular players to purchase the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions just for the bonuses. By making them findable by all players, regardless of edition, it ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to obtain them through gameplay.
Q: What inspired the unique weapon and costume sets included in the Deluxe Edition, and how do you think they enhance the single-player and multiplayer modes?
Guest 1: The weapon and costume sets are inspired by fan requests and feedback, as well as our own vision for the game’s aesthetic. The Monolith set, for example, has a sleek and futuristic design that fits well with the game’s post-apocalyptic setting. The Hunter’s Camo set adds a more tactical element while still maintaining that Stalker vibe. In terms of gameplay, these sets provide players with different strategic options and more flexibility in how they approach various situations.
Q: How do you think the additional quest, artbook, and soundtrack will add to the overall immersion of the game for Deluxe Edition owners?
Guest 2: The additional quest helps to flesh out the lore of the Zone and give players more context for their adventures. The artbook provides a behind-the-scenes look at the development process and the worldbuilding that went into creating the Stalker universe. As for the soundtrack, it’s essential to any game’s atmosphere; we believe it will add another
