The Division 2 is Crossing Over With STALKER 2

Key Takeaways

  • Ubisoft released a STALKER Apparel bundle for The Division 2 to celebrate STALKER 2’s launch.
  • The sequel, STALKER 2, faced numerous delays but is now out in the wild with a 140GB pre-launch update.
  • The collaboration has brought two iconic shooters together, but players wish the cosmetics were obtainable through gameplay instead of a microtransaction.

As a long-time fan of both The Division series and the STALKER franchise, I must say that Ubisoft’s collaboration between these two iconic shooters has truly been a dream come true for me. Having grown up playing the original STALKER games and then diving into the post-apocalyptic world of The Division, it’s surreal to see them merge in such a tangible way.


Ubisoft has unveiled a fresh collection of STALKER-themed outfits for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, perfect for marking the debut of GSC Game World’s anticipated shooter, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. This collaboration, hinted at earlier, now allows players to acquire the stylish cosmetics that blend the post-apocalyptic style of the STALKER series into The Division 2’s wasteland setting.

Introduced in 2019, this action RPG shooter game is the sequel to a 2016 title sharing the same name and set in Washington D.C. post a virus outbreak. Known as “The Division,” this multiplayer shooter series has paved the way for innovation within its genre, leaving an indelible mark on its evolution. The sequel was particularly praised for enhancing its level design, graphics, and overall content. Excitingly, a third installment of the series was announced to be in development as of 2023, offering something exciting for fans to anticipate in the future.

On The Division 2’s official social media platforms, Ubisoft announced that the STALKER Apparel bundle is now accessible for players. Alongside the announcement came a brief video, displaying agents sporting the STALKER outfits on offer, such as the Seva-D Uniform, the Sunrise Uniform, and the Monolith Uniform. These outfits are all available in the current store inventory. The Division 2 is widely recognized as one of Ubisoft’s finest games ever made, while STALKER 2 has garnered Game of the Year potential praise from Xbox head Phil Spencer. Therefore, this collaboration brings together some of the best offerings in the gaming world.

The Division 2 Gets Apparel Crossover With STALKER Franchise

After more than ten years in production, STALKER 2 officially reached its final stage (went gold) earlier this month. Originally planned for release back in 2012 as a sequel to Call of Pripyat, it was abruptly canceled at the last minute. A new target date for 2018 was then announced, but once again, development had to be paused due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Afterward, additional polishing led to a series of further delays until a definite release in 2024 was finally set.

As a gamer, I was pretty excited when STALKER 2 dropped a massive 140GB update before its release. However, it seems this pre-launch patch was only available on Xbox consoles. This game has been one of the most highly anticipated titles of the year, and the fact that it’s teaming up with The Division 2 is pretty cool!
