Along the journey, you'll meet plenty of vagabonds and dwellers. The lone stalker lifestyle is neat – but in Call of Pripyat, you've got a special objective. Get ready to face Chimera – the most fierce predator of these lands at night and telepathic mutant Burer at the darkest abandoned places. You'll have to seek shelter during abrupt emissions and show great ingenuity in order to deal with the new types of anomalies. The Zone becomes even more unpredictable and dangerous, distorting the fabric of reality with its energy. So set your path through swampy Zaton, industrial zones of the 'Jupiter' plant, the ghost town of Pripyat, and the top secret catacombs in which no stalker's foot has set since the catastrophe. Emissions of destructive energy flood it day by day, as its heartlands are finally free to explore for the most experienced and brazen ones. The Exclusion Zone around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant flames with anomalous activity stronger than ever before. To figure out the reason and status of the personnel, is your task as Major Degtyarev, a Security Service of Ukraine operative in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
A military expedition to the center of the Zone has mysteriously disappeared.
