In the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 plays more than 120 tracks of Ukrainian artists

The game «S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl» features over 120 tracks by Ukrainian artists. These include tracks by The Hardkiss, Ziferblat, Jerry Heil, Khrystina Soloviy, TNMK, Mykola Mozgovy, «heytspeech» and others. Forbes Ukraine writes about this.

The company Geisha Ninja Samurai was responsible for creating the playlist, which received an order from the GSC Game World studio in 2021. The company's co-founder Andriy Zaitsev noted that the tracks were selected to recreate the atmosphere of the 1980s-1990s, characteristic of the game's aesthetics. A unique feature was that many tracks were recorded in underground quality, which adds authenticity.

Ukrainian folklore tracks were selected separately for the radio station in the game. This helped create an authentic atmosphere close to life in Ukraine. Zaitsev describes the radio in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 as something «an ordinary person would listen to on a Lviv – Kolomyia minibus».

In total, the playlist includes 120 songs with a total duration of over 7 hours. It can be listened to on YouTube Music and Spotify.
