Japanese retailers have started taking pre-orders for a new line of original STALKER items titled Legends of the Zone Trilogy. This was reported by DTF printing, highlighting a focused collaboration between the STALKER universe and collector’s pieces that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Product pages appeared on the sites of several major Japanese retailers, including BicCamera, Neowing, and Rakuten Books. The listings indicate that STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy will be priced in yen at roughly 40 dollars, which translates to about 3.7 thousand rubles based on the exchange rate around March 6, 2024. This pricing aligns with typical collector’s releases in the region and suggests a strong lineup for fans collecting physical editions and merchandising tied to the STALKER saga.
Retailer information confirms a June 27, 2024 release date for the collection. The lineup reportedly features the three classic STALKER titles in the original trilogy: Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat, and Clear Sky. This packaging choice appeals to long-time followers of the series who value preserved gameplay experiences and authentic art direction from the early STALKER era.
To date, only the PlayStation 4 version of STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy has been officially announced by publishers. There is speculation that the project will be showcased at an Xbox-focused event, with the possibility that a Microsoft console version of the trilogy will accompany the PlayStation 4 edition. This potential dual-platform release would broaden access for fans across console ecosystems and align with the broader strategy for STALKER content on modern platforms.
Meanwhile, development continues on STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is scheduled to launch on September 5, 2024. The anticipated sequel aims to expand the STALKER universe with an updated engine, enhanced open-world mechanics, and a narrative that builds upon the lore of the original games while delivering contemporary aesthetics and technology for a new generation of players.
Earlier reporting from Insider hinted at the possibility of a portable console version featuring an Nvidia graphics solution. If substantiated, this would mark a move toward flexible play options and on-the-go STALKER experiences, complementing the core PC and console releases and giving fans more ways to engage with the franchise across different hardware profiles. The evolving hardware conversation around STALKER reflects a broader trend in which fantasy and survival franchises explore portable formats alongside traditional home consoles and PC experiences, aiming to reach a wider audience without compromising on visual fidelity or atmospheric immersion.
