New Stalker 2 DLC: Stories Untold Is Almost Here

The Stalker 2 DLC Stories Untold expands the game with a new questline, additional locations, and new characters tied to a mysterious radio signal. It introduces eight story-driven quests, several unexplored areas, and a suppressed rifle designed for precise play. Player decisions shape outcomes, including whether a new hub appears in the Burnt Forest. The update also refreshes familiar locations with new activity. All content is free for existing owners.

Stalker 2 Stories Untold DLC Release Date

The Stalker 2 Stories Untold DLC was first scheduled to launch on December 16. Shortly before release, GSC Game World delayed the update by a few days due to last-minute issues. The new release date is December 18 on PlayStation 5 and PC. The studio says the extra time is necessary to deliver the update as intended.

New Quests in Stalker 2 Stories Untold DLC

Stories Untold adds eight new quests built around a single narrative thread. Each quest can take hours to complete and is designed to unfold across multiple regions.

• Eight story quests connected to a radio signal near Malachite
• Investigations in the Red Forest and surrounding zones
• Multiple outcomes based on player choices

The quests begin after players intercept an emergency transmission heard across the Zone. The signal disrupts PDA communications and causes physical symptoms among stalkers. Progress depends on how players respond to information, danger, and competing interests.

New NPCs in Stalker 2

Stories Untold update introduces six new characters, each with a defined background and role in the story. Professor Medulin anchors the scientific side of the investigation after witnessing the signal’s effects firsthand. Banzai, a radio enthusiast, joins the effort to decode the transmission. Other characters appear across new and returning locations, expanding the social fabric of the Zone.

New Base in Stalker 2

Stories Untold can unlock a new hub in the Burnt Forest depending on player decisions. The base functions as a полноценный safe area with a trader, technician, medic, guide, and storage. It also includes a place to rest, reinforcing its role as a long-term checkpoint rather than a temporary shelter.

Stories Untold Weapons & Locations

The Stalker 2 DLC adds seven locations, including the Fairy Tale Pioneer Camp and the Old Mine in the Red Forest. Several familiar areas are now re-inhabited, among them Army Warehouses, Car Dump, the City Boiler Room, the Rail Depot near Malachite, and Volkhov SAM. Stories Untold also introduces the GP37V2 rifle, a modified GP37 fitted with a pre-installed suppressor, a low-magnification optic, and a trigger group limited to single and burst fire. The update ships alongside additional content and quality-of-life changes that clarify its scope as a full-scale expansion rather than a minor content drop.
