Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl developer GSC Game World is the victim of yet another Russian hack, and the Ukrainian studio is urging fans anticipating the upcoming FPS to steer clear of leaked information that may come out of it.
In a statement posted to Twitter, GSC Game World writes that Russian hackers, who according to the developer have been attacking the studio for almost a year and a half following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, accessed game materials intended for internal testing. The developer is asking fans to avoid leaks and to not share any leaked materials that become public due to the hack.

“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,” GSC Game World writes.
