S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat follows Major Degtyarev, an operative of the Security Service of Ukraine, as he investigates the disappearance of a military expedition sent to the center of the Zone. Along the way, you meet vagabonds and other inhabitants who may help with the investigation or shed light on the Zone’s mysteries. Your decisions shape the story’s numerous endings.

The Exclusion Zone

Anomalous activity around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant grows stronger, while destructive energy emissions flood the Zone day by day. Its heartlands are now open to exploration by experienced stalkers. You travel through the swampy area of Zaton, the industrial zones of the Jupiter plant, the ghost town of Pripyat and top-secret catacombs that no stalker has entered since the catastrophe.

Anomalies and mutants

The Zone’s energy distorts reality and makes it increasingly unpredictable. Sudden emissions can force you to seek shelter, while new types of anomalies demand ingenuity to overcome. At night, you may encounter the Chimera, a fierce predator, and in the darkest abandoned places, the telepathic mutant Burer.

Exploration and survival

The game combines action, horror, survival and role-playing elements in a dark Eastern European science-fiction setting. Its atmosphere centers on loneliness in a dangerous place where time seems to have stopped. You can upgrade your weapons and armor, and a reworked A-Life system simulates life in the Zone using solutions from the previous games. Expanded side quests introduce many new, unique characters, while random emissions can strike unexpectedly.

Multiplayer

Four multiplayer modes support battles for up to 32 players on one map.
