A-Life/AI Updates
This is going to be the other major change of the Stalker 2 Heart of Chornobyl Q2 Update. Firstly, the developers are going to bring persistent A-Life improvements. They will also be making the human combat smarter, resulting in better cover/flanking use, and limited grenades. Added to this, the Mutants will eat corpses and react to threats.

• Wide Screen Aspect Ratio Support
• Two New Weapons
• Further Stabilization, Optimization, and Anomalies Fixing

Patch notes will confirm when these changes go live in Stalker 2. Another major thing that the developers have specified is the Stalker Orignal Trilogy Next-Gen update.
It is essential to keep in mind that the developers are going to try their best to incorporate all of this in Q2. However, the mission targets could end up being moved from Q2 to later dates if things don’t end up being the way of the roadmap.
With the developers dividing the updates into quarters, gamers can expect newer content to also be made available in Q3 and Q4 later this year.
