The 10-year milestone of Stalcraft: X, the free-to-play MMOFPS, is being celebrated by EXBO with a significant revamp of its features. This massive online game is set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, offering players the chance to engage in both PvP and PvE experiences.
Having garnered nearly 50,000 favorable ratings on Steam, Stalcraft: X has been dubbed as a blend of Minecraft and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, incorporating RPG elements, dynamic shooter mechanics, and a sprawling open world ripe for exploration and survival.
Throughout the past decade, EXBO has attentively heeded the community’s input, continuously introducing fresh challenges and hurdles for players to conquer as they traverse the game solo or team up to combat the diverse mutants lurking within the shadows.
In honor of the game’s 10th anniversary, EXBO has rolled out the “Day X update,” the most extensive modification in the game’s history. Although the update is yet to be launched, a trailer has been released by EXBO offering a glimpse into what players can anticipate.
The trailer showcases the extensive graphical overhaul that Stalcraft: X is undergoing. Additionally, the game presents a new realm filled with uncharted locations, characters, and adversaries to encounter. It also boasts a fresh soundtrack crafted by esteemed Hollywood composer Jean-Pierre Taieb, known for scoring productions like The Grand Tour, Addict, and Perfect Crimes.
With this update, players will be introduced to the Northern factions, providing them with a fresh viewpoint on existence within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and enabling them to align with a faction after delving into their histories. Moreover, to offer players a respite, Personal Shelters have been integrated into the game, serving as havens for relaxation and crafting essential items. These shelters are fully customizable, offering players the option to transform them into subterranean bases if desired.
Central to the Stalcraft: X 10th anniversary celebration is a state-of-the-art animation engine. Under development for two years, this engine will animate characters with enhanced movements, heightened awareness of adversaries on the battlefield, and a more authentic appearance when navigating the game world.
EXBO has published an extensive blog post detailing the patch notes on their website, elucidating each new feature arriving with the Day X update, how these functions will operate within the game, and what players can anticipate in the fresh zones.
