Technically Fourth Game in STALKER Series

Despite being labeled as STALKER 2, Heart of Chornobyl is actually the fourth mainline STALKER game. It follows STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007), STALKER: Clear Sky (2008), and STALKER: Call of Pripyat (2009). The reason it's labeled with the number 2 is because of the complete upgrade of game system mechanics and change of storyline, setting it apart from the original trilogy.
