Koch Media, after successfully managing the release of their S.T.A.L.K.E.R. prequel, Clear Sky, have announced that they will be distributing Call of Pripyat in the UK, Scandinavia and Italy.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat will be hitting stores on the 5th of February.

The new game uses an updated version of the demanding X-Ray graphic engine that made the previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games so graphically stunning. This time round the X-Ray engine will support DirectX 11 making the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that much more impressive.

Call of Pripyat invites players to investigate the mystery of five military helicopters that have gone missing whilst crossing the Zone.
