It appears that two dev builds of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl have been leaked online. According to the logs, each of these dev builds is around 190GB in size, and they are most likely playable.
In March 2023, hackers threatened to leak tens of gigabytes of material from STALKER 2. So, my guess is that these dev builds are from those same hackers. In other words, this doesn’t appear to be a new hack.
STALKER 2 is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and will be using Ray Tracing effects. The game currently does not have any release date, though we might see a new trailer at Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox event.
Naturally, we won’t allow links to pirated content. So yeah, don’t bother sharing any links for it. Still, I’m pretty sure that most of you will be able to find it by simply googling it. I’m also certain that some people will share videos from these dev builds.
Stay tuned for more!

That sucks, hasn’t this team been through enough trying to develop a game during a war?.
What war?..
Right … what war? the refugees in Switzerland , they all must be very wealthy in ukraine , or only the rich ones are *escaping*.
DO Americans know that 90% population in ukraine are… Russian? no? well if you are reading this you have learned a FACT!
a näzi joo? HUH?
These Ukrainian developers have have to work while their country is invaded by Russian terrorists, and then they have to deal with Russian hackers on top of it. Russian scum.
They moved to Prague
Irony at it’s best.
This will generate hype which might actually work in the developer’s favour
it is , at least for me if we could get a early version to test, like a demo , they hype would go further or… fall flat
It’s comical how easily people are duped. That’s all I have to say on this.
Well russians arent known for their intellect.
When the neo n@zi azov battalion was bombing the russian minority in donbass were they not terrorist or ukranian scam but “patriotic heroes”
Ukraine is more corrupt, more authoritarian more white supremacist than russia with fare more child s3x trafficking and people who pretend otherwise are brainwashed by the nato controlled media and we know this is the case thanks to nato leaks and operation mockingbird.
The ckeeky breeki war has no good sides in it. Metro 2033 devs did the best thing by leaving and going to malta.
you are trying to speak with some of the dumbest human being in the world called a “westerner” my friend , don’t waste your time with them , it’s the poison present in Pfizer jabs that is blocking and killing their brain cells , or maybe they are simply too stupid ,but trust me , they will end up eating each other , as the fascists are taking the power in Europe and the US , civil wars , famine , inflations and poverty will become the norm , soon they will be the refugees , how the turn table ………and speaking of turning the tables , Atomic Heart Dev Build was leaked by Ukrainian hackers, so why not to leak Stalker 2 Build , it bring the balance to the universe isn’t it ?
Canada has “Ukrainian refugees” flooding Alberta, Canada and no one is talking about that. They are getting free everything, while the citizens of the country starve in this inflated mess.
hei im portuguese , and the ukrainain *refuges * refused to go to my country because . not enough money and they called my country *sh*t*
Yeah man we all know what this is about, resources. That’s why I keep telling people, STOP PAYING TAXES. But no one wants to listen. The people have all the power but they still choose to be sheep’s, I just don’t get it man. The government is the only employee that whether or not they do their jobs, they still get paid. Why would you create class bof people immune to consequences and then expect a different outcome. I just can’t get through to the humans.
Worst is they are allowing politicians to do whatever they want ,so by 2035 it’s going to be so tight and so mind destroying that people instead of wanting to live …all they want is to die ,that’s exactly whats going to happen ,no war needed because it’s going to be the year of mass suicide
Thanks for that ,do you live in a shithole to? Probably didn’t knew that Portugal existed until I mentioned it…
Dude … americans and jaywalking ….wtf is wong with them , even waling is offencive XD
Who’s buying all the russian propaganda? What a total moron you are.
First of all, there was never a russian minority in donbass, they were russian plants, armed and funded by moscow to break up ukraine, these guys were russian soldiers and traitors to ukraine. Its like if china sent a couple thousands chinese people in texas, armed them to the teeth make them take over texas and then said texas would secede with the oil and nukes. You think the US wouldnt bomb them? LOL
All these “donbass separatists“ never freaking existed.
lies. globalist media lies. pathetic westerner claims he knows what was going on in eastern europe. 2 years ago you didn’t even know where Ukraine was
I constantly see you bashing the West.
It’s about time you took the first Tupolev and moved out to Russia. If there’s one thing I hate it is traitors who enjoy Western democracy, while supporting communist dictators like Putin.
Get out.

There is no russian propaganda, none is allowed to exist and saying that there was no russian minority in eastern ukraine is genocidal talk. The majority of iphones in ukraine are set in russian, but there are no russians? Laughable.
If donbass separatists never existed then how come they voted to leave and it was confirmed to be a fair election by independent observers and how come they havent rebelled against russia all those years? You have to be brainwashed to believe this.
isn’t 90% ukraine population russian? like kozovo where the populaton of another country threw out its natives? pretty sure its the same , but without throwing anyone out, and the president is … a actor
they know nothing, to them its like nothing happened before the invasion of ukraine. I bet they are the same morons who never saw the articles on the azov batalion being neonaz1s.
barely they know that adolf hitler wasn’t german ….he was Austrian ! 2 world made by people of the same country!
worst ! most people don’t know that n@zi hated jews because they blamed the jews for killling jesus and jews where also hated because they where living in luxury while the german normall population was being explored and left in misery , germans had enough BUT what they did with the jews is absolutely unacceptable and out of this world horrible .
dude everything is correct … remove that *white supremacy* bs because it does not exist , its just another term made up by americans to generate hate.
Russia has always been scum. Their entire culture is scum. Russia needs a good cleaning of their culture just like germans and japanese did after 1945. Take out Putin and his gang, dismantle the nukes, dismantle russia into several countries.
I think you mispelled “USA”.
ukraine is more corrupt than russia more racist, more white and has more child diddlers. Its number 4 in europe on that.
they shouldn’t have let Celebsky shell Russian civvies for 8 years.
Zelenskyy was elected president only in 2019, do you drones always have to be so intellectually challenged?
And yet the killing continued under his regime.
and he made the situation worse.
what “russian civies” were doing in Ukraine? Usually that’s called “invaders”. You invade another country – you get killed. It’s normal.
Were the Russian writers of ‘A Roadside Picnic’, which the STALKER series is based on, ‘scum’ too?
If they support Russia genociding an entire people then yeah, they are scum.
Ukraine killed 14.000 Russian civilians before this war broke out you innocent, st*pid little child.
Another Ruzzian lie.
“Before” I don’t remember Ukraine killing anyone before 2014 when Russia invaded and stole land from Ukraine right after they overthrew their puppet, do you not care for the tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians killed and dislocated by Russian terrorist in Eastern Ukraine? But nonetheless, Russia is losing this war and soon Putin will see justice for his genocide.
god you are r3tarded, so they invaded crimea for no reason whatsoever eh? The ukranians did not kill russian minorities there or anything? Unbelievable how brainwashed you people are.
TRUTH!
Of course, you don’t remember, you ignorant brat.
You don’t know half of the story. To make it short for your little attention span:
After the CIA sponsored coup in 2014 by that cow Victoria Nuland, the new Ukrainian Ultra Nationalist regime decided to outlaw the Russian language, purposefully attacking 1/6 of the Ukrainian Population that spoke Russian. Many Ukrainians didn’t agree with this decision, nor did they have a chance to vote for the new Ultra Nationalist regime.
This resulted in demonstrations across the country, escalating in Odessa, where Ukrainians that opposed the new government were forced into a building by members of the fascist Azov Battalion and burned alive. Demonstrations continued mostly in the east, where the majority of Ukrainians spoke Russian. They did not want to be part of this new government. As a result, the Ukrainian fascist government decided to attack them.
Things escalated further, until Russia decided to help the people of Donbass.

HO also did you knew they’r president is a actor? yeap!
Link, evidence, required.
you never heard about crimea and donbass? So you know nothing about this war?
what were “14000 russian civilians” doing in Donbass?
what were “14000 russian civilians” doing in Donbass?
me literally going out of my home here in europe and seeing luxury cars with ukraine plates , chilling in expensive restaurants , or if you prefer the ones who where promised home in my country , but refused because they called my country *sh*t*
stop worshiping tv, its still not to late for a wake up before 2035 hits!
Delusinal American dislike my comment …what a surprise
more than that.
there is no genocide.
no because the real genocides are happening in africa , same color yet different religion … they also descriminate each other on race!
The borthers Strugatsky are dead.
An irrelevant question.
Not when the OP is clearly driven by anti-Russian hatred and the game in question was inspired by a Russian novel.
Go educate yourself, this is just embarrassing to read so much garbage.
I suggest you start with the website “reseau international”, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two, but I have a feeling you’re a lost cause and prefer to embrace nazism.

I am posting this for others who might actually believe you are a truthful person suggesting some “random site”.
You’re a very shady person.
lol! How stupid!
And who is saying that this is Russian propaganda?
Are you really that dense? ha ha ha OMG What a moron…
How do you know it was hacked by russians?
“In March 2023, hackers threatened to leak tens of gigabytes of material from STALKER 2. So, my guess is that these dev builds are from those same hackers. In other words, this doesn’t appear to be a new hack.”
situation escalated.
JOHN I think we got good news here
http://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aad2b98c435b82cb3605950520d937e8719027310ef7e4fcc4aa29b8a2ff8477.jpg

How is this good news? Who plays this type of games?
It’s a popular IP. Who are you to judge? 🙂
Not on PC
It’s not a great game. Playstation just makes a lot of hoopla about their exclusives.
There are plenty of other platformers like A-Hat-in-Time that are better, and already on PC.
let him sleep on it. John won’t post just anything, oh no no no.
Spoiler alert: you’ll spend more than half of the game not playing as Rachet, it’s another bait and switch where they need the name of the male character to sell a new female character.
isnt it mindblowing how predictable their tactics have become?
Yeah, but frankly, I wasn’t expecting it in a game like Rachet and Clank. In fact, it was the first time that tactic they use really hit home for me because Rift Apart is my first Rachet and Clank game and I was like “where the hell is Rachet?” after a while.
i mean its not like he is in the name.
Haha, yeah, though at least halfway through you get the choice to pick between missions for Rachet and missions for Rivet (the female character), though Clank mostly spends time with Rivet.
God forbid playing a female character. I presume you also have no interest in female partners.
So developers and female gamers who have no interest in playing as a straight male protagonist, rather bicker about it all the time are misandrists.
Try again with English sentence structure please. I have no idea what this string of words means. See you later, I am off to play Ms. Pacman.
All that horsesh*ts just to say you agree with me
I understood what he said just fine you Fuqing fairy
God forbid they develop and introduce new female characters through new games/stories/movies/TV shows instead of putting them in games/stories/movies/TV shows that they market as being about a male character that is already popular.
P.S.: I’m interested in women (might explain why I’m married to one), but probably not desperately like you to want to see women replacing all popular male characters. Something like Uncharted: Lost Legacy (or even a poor TV show like She-Hulk) works fine to introduce a gender-switched character, but not when the game is literally named after the male character only to make that male character a side character.

exactly like how mad max fury road was a furiosa movie. Notice how no one has sons anymore, everyone has daughters in fiction, so they can replace them.
Why are you so Dense and dumb? Were you born this way or did you choose this as a life path? I know you know what the problem is and why people hate that crap. But you choose to take this direction because it excites you to play fool to catch wise. You’re a loser
I presume you have interest in wearing women’s clothes.
Spoiler Alert: you are not even on the correct article spewing your nonsense and vitriol.
“should we released our old games on pc? Nah release one of the few ps5 exclusives we have”
So SmArT
There are plenty of platformers like A-Hat-in-Time that are better, and already on PC.
It’s not hack. It’s encrypted builds for testers. There is no chance to play game, only data mining is possible for some new info about game. For instance this is log file https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1092169057547067433/1113076487852134430/Stalker2.log
Ruzzians can’t win the war by shooting missiles into cities and they can’t stop this game’s development by leaking the dev builds. Pathetic in general.
Slava Ukrayini!
Ukraine cant win, much smaller country, 40% of it is destroyed, just looked the leaked nato documents, you have been lied to, the war isnt going well for ukraine.
Those documents were forged by commie šlut Sarah Bils better known as Donbass Devushka to favor Ruzzian propaganda.
nato leaked documents not russians ones you moron
Another ruzzian lie.
russia treated the leaks as “nato propaganda” and did not comment on them at all.
Slobbamaknobba
stay mad, neon@zi
The only näzis here are you and the other rashists who support ruZZia’s war. Typical projection.
You lost WWII, get over it!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8be516faa965537ae2db5043df8266c6b9b73be1de1ebb530a8d0c38ed3d5453.jpg
I was a regular on this it before this war started. I remember when most of you lot supported fascism and blamed the Jews for everything wrong in video games. Well, you still do, but you just support the ruZZian version of fascism, called rashism. But no amount of projecting is going to cover up the fact that you are a ruZZian troll. Your war is lost, Vlad. Cope.
Russian hackers, hack into Ukrainian dev servers and then release the files. No surprise here. Clearly not just Putin who is a nasty Russian.
There is nothing Russian about Putin for except that he’s born in the same city that house the HQ of the Swiss Beast which he serves. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Putin is a traitor to the Russian people, just like the rest of the leaders to their own country. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!
Atomic Heart Dev Build was leaked by Ukrainian hackers, so why not to leak Stalker 2 Build , it bring the balance to the universe isn’t it ?………or the “double standard” way of thinking is the new norm in the west !
was it ukraine or bs?
There’s no reasoning or use of logic with Jews and liberals
yes , they are brainwashed to the extreme !
What a bunch of a**holes, I also remember their reasons for publishing this were so unbelievably childish
190 GB? For possibly incoherent rubbish. No thanks man. Find something better to do with your time.
Well, maybe THIS is what he considers time well spent? One shouldn’t judge, innit?
lol to ppl that think there was a war. you ever seen wag the dog? there was no war. It was all smoke and mirrors to steal billions of tax dollars from americans and push mindless hate on russia again for no reason. It was all complete bullshit. the US funded nazi’s over there are the problem. Not russia. The war was as real as us funded covid which mutated every month and then magically disappeared LMAO. TOTAL BS
For all the arguing here, one thing rains true: since Russia invaded Ukraine, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in both countries have been lost or damaged.
Except it’s not an “invasion”. They’re literally defending themselves.
Don’t use the vocabulary of the globalist media.
i was gonna respond with “its an invasion” but yeah this is how they see it, defending their russian minority from azov and themselves from nato.
You think these so called “PC Gamers” know anything about the history of eastern Eu? This ain’t no FPS, but they’ll talk like they know every damn thing. They don’t even know that both Putin & Zelensky are playing everyone. Both work for the same globalist scum. I was quite shocked when I realized Putin is Traitor to the country which he rules, but it still make sense. A Russian president with Swiss wife and Swiss children. His true master is the “Swiss Beast”. I pray that the Russian people stomp him out, but I’m sure he has them fooled as well. As for Zelensky, that man I don’t have words for. That lying piece of crap. Invasion? War? Where? All lies and BS!
I don’t care for either one of them. I hate that so many people on both sides have been killed in the war.
Except it’s not an “invasion”. They’re literally defending themselves.
Don’t use the vocabulary of the globalist media.
Yeah, no s*it
funny how now it matters not when they bomber russian minorities for years. I suppose russian lives dont matter?
But you tell me. There’s a region in Russia called Belgorod oblast. Russians have been bombing it for 1.5 years now, killing innocent civilians. People had enough and proclaimed Belgorod People’s Republic to combat russian neonazis. Instead of trying to find a common ground russians dropped 4 dumb bombs on city of Shebekino only in the past week. Russian state deputy and general Guruliov called to bomb Belgorod People’s Republic even harder.
They are killing supposedly russian people!
Quoting myself, ‘Innocent lives on both sides…’.
Yes due to jewlinsky
piss off, Ukraine invaded and illegally occupied Russian territories, and Russia is liberating them.
Another ruZZian lie.
Will you stop spreading n@zi propaganda?
I am against national socialism, especially ruZZian national socialism. Cope, rashist.
lol to ppl that think there was a war. you ever seen wag the dog? there was no war.

TOTAL BS
the war is real, the mainstream media does not televise it because its not going the way they propagandized everyone it does. As we saw from the leaked nato documents. You can find plenty of war footage on telegram.
you should seek profressional help… holy sh*t.
You should seek death in the woods alone. You refuse to listen and do your own research. You believe whatever they tell you and you are always on the the wrong side of the belief.
Preach, because the first thing that happens in a way is they take out infrastructure of the enemy. Russia has yet to destroy any key component of Ukraine.
Nice post to see how easily moröns eat propaganda.
awesome news!!
