While still not quite there yet, the open-world game has been massively improved by patches that re-introduce A-Life, improve weapon handling and much more. As part of the game’s substantial Q2 2025 roadmap, GSC Game World promised that official mod tools would release for the open-world game. While the tools haven’t released at the time of writing, the developer has explained that the tools will release “soon”. Stalker 2 Mod Tools are almost here Responding to fans on Discord, GSC Game World confirmed that the official Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl mod tools are currently in the “final stages” of preparation before being released to the public. “SDK Beta is on final preparations and we are ready to start it very soon,” GSC responded to fans when asked about the game’s official mod tools. The arrival of the SDK will allow fans to create much more extensive mods for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. While mods like Stalker Infintiy already offer much different gameplay styles, these tools will allow easier implementation of new areas, weapons, enemies and much more. When mod support is added to the game, players will also be able to download mods directly from inside the game. Mods will also be downloadable on Xbox Series consoles. The original trilogy is also getting more support Alongside the release of Stalker 2 mod tools, GSC also confirmed that it will be releasing detailed documentation to assist modding for the recent Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition remasters. While the remasters have released to very negative reception, largely due to the removal of original assets, the addition of Steam Workshop support does make the trilogy attractive to modders. In order to support the modding community, the team will release documentation to help modders understand how the games work. “We are preparing the modding guide for Steam Workshop,” GSC explained. “It is already possible to modify most of things on Steam, and hopefully [the] modding guide will help.” GSC is also not finished with both the Legends of the Zone Trilogy remasters or Stalker 2. With continued patches in the works for the original games, the remasters should hopefully get much better. Additionally, a number of expansions are in the works for the sequel that will offer “fresh perspectives” on the zone.
