Announced on Discord, the team explained they are “breaking the roadmap down into quarterly updates. Every three months, you’ll get the full scoop on what’s coming. Patch notes will confirm when it’s live in-game.” Stalker 2 Q2 2025 roadmap In the first quarterly roadmap of the year, GSC Game World revealed a tonne of new changes coming to the game. Most importantly, the game’s busted A-Life system is receiving a massive overhaul with “persistent A-Life Improvements, smarter human combat” and better mutant AI. In future updates, mutants will “eat corpses” left around the Zone and properly react to threats from all entities. Additionally, mutants will now have useful loot that players can scavenge and sell at vendors across the Zone. Secondly, the beta Mod Kit SDK will be released alongside a mod guide to better support mod creators. While modders have already made some amazing additions like Stalker Infinity, this should result in the ability to make brand-new story quests, locations and much more. The game’s modding also comes with integration for both Mod.IO and Steam Workshop integration. It’s not known if Mod.IO integration will also be present on Xbox Series consoles. Alongisde these additions, GSC Game World is also adding two new weapons to Stalker 2 for players to find as well as increasing the player stash window. Additionally, the team is working on further stabilization, optimisation and fixes for anomalies. This is all set to arrive in the first quarter of 2025 with even more fixes and additions coming later in the year. With GSC planning to add heaps of cut content to the game as well as expansions in the future, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has a lot of life left in it.
