Fans of the ambitious S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl will likely rejoice at the revelation of its sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

The game will apparently kick off where Shadow of Chernobyl left players with a revamped visual engine as well as that all-important atmosphere and mood, as created with the first outing.

Mutated beasts, radiation pockets and eerie weather are all waiting for you here. Check out the full debut video.

loved the first stalker. clear sky.. not so much.

this looks good but i just hope the AI are not hyper-alert superdudes like previously.

Loved the first and have yet to play Clear Sky... I got it of steam the day it was released, played about 30 hours in just the swamp area (testing, exploring etc) and then other games came out so I left it be.

Will be getting CoP too and then doing CS > COP.

That looks good as long as you dont look at the s*** character animations. WTF is up with the robotic half ass'd attempt at that?

Just replayed the first game, has a great atmosphere.

Depending on how buggy it is at release, i might wait for mods to make it better.

f*** yeah i love this game and its awesome russian everything.

Great stuff.

Cool vid, I'm keen. I always think of what could have been when it comes to Stalker, but still a good game.
