Developer GSC Game World has released tons of 4K screenshots and in-game trailers for STALKER 2. These have managed to capture the attention of gamers as the in-game world is truly stunning. The game’s beautiful visuals are a result of the same tools that were used to create another legendary game, Hellblade 2.
STALKER 2 Uses Unreal Engine 5 to Deliver Gorgeous Graphics
Unreal Engine made its first appearance way back in 1998 and was designed for FPS shooters like Unreal. Following this game, the engine has been used for tons of genres and has continued to develop and deliver video games with mind-blowing graphics.
The Epic Games engine is currently on its fifth version, delivering visuals that are so remarkable that they emulate real-life scenes.

Most recent entries that used Unreal Engine include Star Wars: Fallen Order and Hellblade 2. These two games alone received incredible recognition for their gameplay and graphics, showcasing how groundbreaking and speculator this Engine is.
In a recent interview, STALKER 2‘s Technical Producer, Evgeniy Kulik, touched upon the development of the upcoming title. The Unreal Engine was one of the most significant factors that allowed them to realize their vision.
We are now using a lot of new technologies such as Unreal Engine 5, and it provides us with a lot of tools to create this amazing, really huge world. One of the main challenges was to preserve this unique atmosphere of unknown, of loneliness, of fear of something hidden, and of course, these atmospheric events and the background noises.
Unreal Engine 5 has allowed game developers to create a vast and detailed world with complex environmental effects and lighting. These aspects are crucial for maintaining the franchise’s sense of mystery and tension.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that STALKER 2 has a perfect launch so gamers can genuinely experience the breathtaking visuals it aims to present in their full glory.

The game is all set to debut on November 20th, 2024. It will be available on Xbox Series S/X and PC. The title will be accessible through Steam, the Epic Games store, and Game Pass.
If you’re a PlayStation player, you’ll have to experience the title on the systems mentioned above, as there’s still no information on whether it will be released on Sony’s console in the future.
However, with the speed Microsoft is abandoning Xbox and porting its exclusives to rival consoles, it’s likely that STALKER 2 will eventually make its way to PlayStation.
