S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is getting a free April update that opens the X-18 Lab door
GSC Game World said the Sealed Truth update will arrive in April and ties into the Cost of Hope DLC announcement.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting a free content update called Sealed Truth in April, and it sounds like the Zone is about to get a lot stranger.
GSC Game World said the update is arriving to celebrate the Cost of Hope DLC announcement. The main tease is straightforward yet filled with danger, as players will have the opportunity to unlock the door to X-18 Lab.
That alone is enough to set off the alarms. X-18 has always carried a nasty reputation in the Stalker universe, so opening it up in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 points to new content that is likely to explore some of the series’ most sinister aspects.
The developer did not share a release date for April or outline everything included in the update yet. If Sealed Truth lands with the kind of atmosphere that X-18 implies, this could be one of the more memorable free additions the game has received so far.
