KYIV, UKRAINE — 9th October 2024 - Ukraine-based Independent Developers GSC Game World are excited to announce the release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R Legends of the Zone Trilogy on Nintendo Switch. The trilogy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games will release on Nintendo Switch on October 31 — slightly ahead of the initially planned November release window.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a series of first-person survival shooters with horror and RPG elements, set in a dark, science fiction, post-apocalyptic world surrounding the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The original trilogy includes S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl (2007), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (2008), and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat (2009).
