“The Herald of That Same Stalker: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Build Leaked 2: Heart of Chornobyl turned out to be outdated

The administrators of the popular VK-community “Herald of That Very Stalker” analyzed the leaked build of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and came to the conclusion that this version was compiled at least a year ago and does not reflect the current state of the project.

In their arguments about the irrelevance of this build, they presented several solid pieces of evidence. First, the story characters and world depicted in the leaked version do not match previous leaked information. Secondly, there were videos in this version, which are absent in the current game’s compilation.

It is also worth noting that the leak occurred relatively recently, the original build was changed by the developers themselves for an unknown reason and recompiled. The visual elements of the game world clearly date back to before May 2022. The build files also contain actual content, there may be others that are still undiscovered, but their exact percentage and quantity is difficult to determine at this time.

Datamainers have noticed the presence of DLSS Frame Generation technology in this version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 DLSS Frame Generation technology, which was released in the fall of 2022. It is assumed that the leaked build fell into the hands of players as a kind of preliminary version for the developers to experiment. In addition to their findings, the community authors have published several screenshots from the game “Stalker 2” to confirm their claims.
