The Central Directorate of Intelligence has created a video that is stylized as the game STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl. The footage shows a 3D model of the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kyryll Budanov.
The relevant video was published by the project I want to live.
A new video is being actively distributed and discussed on the Internet, which plays down the difficulties of Russian gamers with the Ukrainian language in the game. It begins with a cut where a Russian player expresses surprise at the Ukrainian text in the game. Then Budanov appears and in Russian offers the Russians to think about surrendering if they are sent to the Zone.
In his speech, Budanov ironically mentions the popular cultural theme of the exclusion zone, playing it in the context of war.
“Well, stalker, did you struggle with the Ukrainian language? Do you not understand anything? Listen to me carefully. If sent to the Zone, surrender. Some pluses. Not only will bloodsuckers not be tormented, but you will also be able to learn Ukrainian. Think,” the video says.
The video, which was posted on November 23, quickly went viral and generated tons of comments and memes on social media. Many noted its unusual way of presenting an important message and its humorous adaptation in a popular gaming context.
I want to live is a GUR project designed to help Russian occupiers who do not want to participate in the war against Ukraine to surrender safely to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which was one of the most desired games of the year, has already sold a million copies.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl – what you need to know about the game
STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a role-playing game in the genre of a post-apocalyptic first-person shooter. It is a continuation of the cult series of STALKER games from the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World. The events of the game take place in our time, in an alternative world on the territory of Ukraine, in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
The game was announced in 2010 and was supposed to be released in April 2022. The release was postponed to 2023, but it never happened.
The series is popular in Russia, but STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will not go on sale in the territory of the aggressor country. Also, during the creation of the game, the developers changed the name Heart of Chernobyl to Heart of Chornobyl and abandoned the Russian voice.
