Coming this Fall, STALCRAFT: X Players Can Look Forward to an Exciting New Event in BLACK RAID
STALCRAFT: X is a large-scale MMOFPS set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Today, this time-tested project is rapidly evolving, reaching new online peak records, with tens of thousands of people logging in every day.
The unique atmosphere of the Exclusion Zone, balanced levelling system, open economy, and nonlinear storylines have been providing players with a unique experience and an immersive game world for more than 10 years.
From October 30 to December 4, players will experience a new event - Black Raid, where everyone will take on the role of a Black Market mercenary. Players will be tasked with infiltrating a secret base on the isolated island of Boral, (a place where dangerous experiments were once conducted) to steal cutting-edge technology and evacuate before time runs out.
Along the way, they will encounter atmospheric locations, exciting missions, and the most dangerous enemies - zombified predecessors and mysterious Murmurs operatives. Complicating matters are also creatures with unique abilities, emerging from the dreadful experiments.
The event offers an exciting session-based game in a mode that combines features of the Extraction Shooter and Battle Royale genres, where stalkers will battle not only against competitors from among other players but also against smart and cunning NPCs. Their goal is to complete various missions on the map, each of which promises unique challenges.
With the start of the event, stalkers will have a great opportunity to complete the autumn seasonal battle pass thanks to the increased amount of experience. They will also have the chance to compete in the rankings to secure an honorable position in the league and claim unique prizes. Additionally, they can look forward to new interesting nonlinear quests in the open world and the opportunity to obtain an exclusive skin!
About STALCRAFT: X
Players will spend their time in the open world of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Locations are filled with many kinds of PvP and PvE activities, beloved by fans of Stalker, such as searching for artifacts, mutant hunting, exploration of uncharted locations, doing quests, creating laboratories and participating in faction wars. For those who have less time to play, there are various session modes to experience.
A living open world
The open world of STALCRAFT: X is truly alive, and players create unique situations for each other, forging loyal friendships and relentless enemies along the way. While exploring the game world’s many locations, other factions’ players may shoot you, but you won't lose all your gear and progress; instead, you'll only leave part of the resources you've collected during that trip. This ensures you retain the thrill of each raid, while setbacks are not overly fatal.
A unique combination of FPS and RPG
The balance of weapons is not typical for open-world MMOs, and somewhat resembles session shooters like Counter Strike and Call of Duty. We define the shooter component as fast-paced, tied primarily to reaction and shooting skills. At the same time, you will remain motivated to progress further on as, over the years, the developers have managed to achieve a unique combination of FPS and RPG mechanics.
Progression and open world economy
Don't let the MMO genre scare you away — there is no levelling mechanic, and you progress through the game by obtaining new equipment. You can acquire it in many ways, including buying it from other players — because STALCRAFT: X has an open economy. You can become a legendary merchant without leaving the base! And by the way, there are no game wipes.
The distribution model
STALCRAFT: X is distributed for free, and there is no catch here — monetization is organized according to the P4T (Pay for time) and cosmetics model.
Any items can be obtained through playing the game, however, the soft monetization method allows you to speed up some areas of character levelling.
STALCRAFT: X is available to play for free now via Steam and the EXBO launcher.
