ATB launched an additional edition of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 almanac and introduced an online reserve system after a shortage
After the first batch of the STALKER 2 almanac sold out instantly, the ATB chain announced a reprint and changed the sales mechanics. Now the book can be reserved online and guaranteed to be purchased in the store at a fixed price.
After the first batch of the STALKER 2 almanac sold out instantly, the ATB chain announced a reprint and changed the sales mechanics. Now the book can be reserved online and guaranteed to be purchased in the store at a fixed price.
According to the official Telegram channel of ATB, the company has already sent an additional print run of the interactive almanac based on the STALKER 2 universe to print and has opened the possibility of pre-orders for buyers.
This is a change in approach to sales after the situation with the first batch, which was sold out in a very short time. As a result, part of the circulation ended up with resellers, and complaints appeared online about the shortage and lack of restrictions.
Now you can purchase the book through a special page https://s2-atb.com/, where you need to leave a request with contact details and choose a specific ATB store to receive it. Confirmation is promised to be sent to your email within 24 hours.
After the almanac is delivered to the selected store, the buyer will receive an SMS with a message and a unique code. This code confirms the right to purchase a copy from the new edition at a price of 399 UAH. Without it, it will not be possible to purchase the reserved book.
The company notes that this personal queue system should make sales more controlled and reduce the possibility of mass buying. The estimated date of receipt of the new edition is early June 2026.
At the same time, ATB warns that the number of books in print will remain limited. Placing an order actually secures a specific copy for the buyer, but only on condition of subsequent redemption after receiving the code.
The STALKER 2 almanac went on sale in mid-April in ATB stores and caused a stir among fans of the series. The first print run sold out in a matter of hours, after which the books began appearing on secondary sites with significantly inflated prices. The new print run and reserve system should partially solve this problem.
