GSC Game World studio, together with the ATB supermarket chain, are planning to launch a large-scale collaboration dedicated to the hit game STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl. The main feature of the campaign will be the release of thematic trading cards.
According to preliminary unofficial data , the event may start as early as April 15 and will last almost two months — until June 9. Currently, the community is waiting for an official announcement from the developers and the retailer to find out the exact conditions for obtaining cards and the full rules of participation.
For the ATB chain, issuing collectible cards with the involvement of major partners is already a proven format. Previously, the supermarket conducted a similar large-scale campaign together with the Ukrainian national football team and a crypto exchange.
During that summer football event, buyers had the opportunity to collect a collection of 28 cards featuring national team players, accumulate special points, and compete for valuable cash prizes of up to $1,000.
Given this experience, it is likely that the collaboration with STALKER 2 will also have a strong interactive component and interesting rewards for the most active collectors.
UPD. Interactive almanac for cards from STALKER 2 will be similar to an artbook. New details about the price and appearance of the collection album and the number of cards
Videos of an interactive almanac from the still-unreleased STALKER 2 and ATB collaboration have surfaced online. They show that it will not be a simple album for collecting cards, but an artbook with images (that were not included in the official artbook) and information about the game world.

The almanac will approximately have 48 collectible cards with characters, artifacts, weapons, etc. from STALKER 2. According to preliminary information , it will cost 399 UAH. Given ATB's previous collaboration with the fantasy universe "Chronicles of Power", a premium pack with epic cards may cost 20 UAH, and a regular pack with one card - about 3.50.
UPD 2. GSC Game World officially confirmed the existence of a collaboration with ATB.
"Inside you will find exactly what you were looking for - a lot of new information about the characters, the Zone, locations, secrets and all sorts of interesting things. Interactive cards will allow you to delve into the depths of the Zone and reveal additional secrets. This is a unique and extremely desirable collector's item for any stalker," the almanac's announcement says .
On April 15, new secrets, puzzles, and artifacts will appear in ATB stores.
Interestingly, there is a page about Skif in the almanac, where it is stated that he is from the city of Ukrainka, and in 2014-2016 he served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Recall that earlier, dev.ua published a detailed analysis of the trailer for the new addition STALKER 2: Cost of Hope, which reveals new secrets of the Zone.
