In our Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl review, we described GSC Game World’s new title as a “gloriously gloomy use of Unreal Engine 5“, praising the beautiful open world and the proper survival game design.
Now the developer’s game artists have shared some of the art they created for the title, which is set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the developer’s home country of Ukraine.
3D engineer and artist Vladyslav Matvieiev, lead material artist Maksim Egorov and principal foliage artist Bogodar Havrylyuk have shared some of their work for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl on Art Station. Their posts illustrate the richness and variety of the game’s art and supports GSC’s suggestion that each of the game’s 20 regions could be a game in itself. Just check out Havrylyuk’s work on the Oasis below.
