Stalker 2 Gets New Gameplay Trailer

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl developer GSC Game World has released a new trailer for the Game, the first in six months. It's also the first trailer in which we see the Game in action since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the country in which GSC Game World is based.

The trailer itself was uploaded to GSC Game World's YouTube channel earlier today and features several action-packed scenes showcasing some impressive-looking gameplay. We see a player take down enemy humans and monsters with a variety of different weapons, including what appears to be a sawed-off shotgun, pistols, and machine guns.

We also get to see some funky gravity manipulation, as the player tosses what appears to be a bolt in to a pile of rubble. A force field erupts from the ground and stones begin to float into the air. After some more action-packed scenes, we get that all important confimration that Stalker 2 will launch at some point in 2023, barring any delays. It was recently rumored that the Game had been pushed into 2024, but GSC Game World has rubbished them and told fans to only keep an eye on official channels.

The release window of 2023 is the only date we have to go on at the moment, but we do know that Stalker 2 will be a timed console exclusive for Xbox and will be available on Xbox Game Pass on the day of launch. Of course, with GSC Game World being a Ukrainian studio, development of the Game could take a dramatic shift at any time. If you want to keep up to date on development, it's best to follow official sources like GCS Game World or Stalker 2's Twitter accounts for news on any further delays.

In other news, fellow Ukrainian developer Frogwares recently shared a large Twitter thread detailing the realities of living in Ukraine at the moment, describing freezing cold temperatures, rolling blackouts, and almost constant air raid sirens.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
