‘Total Chaos’ Invades the Switch 2 Today [Trailer]
Right on time, Trigger Happy Interactive’s Total Chaos is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo eShop. As mentioned before, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Total Chaos runs at up to 1080P in docked mode and 720P in handheld mode, with a selectable Performance mode targeting 60FPS (unlocked). The default Quality mode is set to 30FPS.
Additionally, the game supports Joy-Con 2 mouse and gyro controls, and launches with the latest game content introduced with the New Game+ update, which includes an alternate ending, a new stalker enemy type (The Hunter), and more.
As Luiz alluded to in his review of the PC version, Total Chaos is a downright brutal, atmospheric nightmare that blends hallmarks of different eras of survival horror. Originally a total conversion mod of DOOM II, this now standalone game pulls players into the abyss of Fort Oasis, a desolate wasteland once considered paradise by its coal-mining community.
A shadow looms over the island, evoking a sense of madness that can only be described as the feeling of being constantly watched. Monstrosities lurk around every corner of the island’s heart, trapping anybody daring enough to enter the void. While shooting and bludgeoning through these twisted foes, players will unearth fragments of forgotten lives to piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis’ demise (and their connection to it) before their sanity runs dry.
GSC Game World will be bringing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl fans the first expansion next month when “Cost of Hope” launches on August 20. The release will coincide with a new 2.0 update for the game. The devs will release more info on the expansion and the update in the coming weeks.
In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
