Stalker 2 dev says Russian hackers have leaked a test build online as part of a 'year and a half' attack, and asks fans not to share it
, when it revealed an employee's accounts was hacked and that the studio had been threatened with blackmail.
"We are a Ukrainian company," it wrote at the time,"and like most Ukrainians, we have experienced many things that are much more terrifying: destroyed houses, ruined lives, and the deaths of our loved ones. Attempts to blackmail or intimidate us are completely futile".
"As for now," it continued,"we kindly ask stalkers and those who want to join the Zone in the future not to look at or share any leaked materials for the game. Although these materials are only used for testing purposes and are not release-ready, these leaks may ruin your experience of exploring the Zone by yourself."
"Rest assured, our team remains dedicated to delivering an exceptional gaming experience," GSC Game World concluded."Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the game we dedicate our hearts and souls to. Despite the issue, we will continue to ensure that the game will satisfy your expectations, as we hope." Stalker 2 is currently due to launch for PC later this year but is yet to receive a firm release date.Eurogamer welcomes videogamers of all types, so sign in and join our community!
