'Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone' Kickstarter Coming Soon, Shows Off Gameplay And Features - Screens & Trailer

Explore the mysterious open world of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in this post-apocalyptic action RPG adventure.

Craft your story by facing sinister hazards and monsters. Survive furious encounters with the help of your crafted weaponry, developed skills, gathered teammates, and supported factions.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apocalyptic action-RPG game, mixing free exploration of huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, team and base management with non-linear, immersive storytelling.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone throws you to the Zone entirely taken over by the precious, high-energy material called Chernobylite. It transformed the environment entirely and forced people to defend themselves against it using prototype technologies. You’re one of those people, a planewalker traveling the worlds in search of this rare resource. Cut off from the world, trapped in the Zone, attacked by hordes of nightmare creatures, you must fight for survival and unite the handful of remaining survivors. Fight for domination and negotiate with the other factions. The Exclusion Zone is a battlefield that changes every day and reacts to your every action. Will you find a way to help the others defeat the army of vicious monsters? And when old conflicts are revived, whose side will you be on?

Following the vast amount of feedback gathered on Chernobylite from players, Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone introduces the elements most anticipated when compared to the original game: a vast open world and a gameplay model in line with the most canonical action-RPGs. The plot, player character development, exploration, combat, weapons and gadgets, the number of side characters, relationships with other story characters - each of these elements is expanded many times over the predecessor, providing more opportunities to build your own version of the story of survival in the mysterious and sinister Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

The 3D-scanned post-apocalyptic world of Chornobyl has been given incomparably more detail and has been further enhanced with countless ambient elements brought by Chernobylite from other dimensions thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and Nanite, as well as Reality 51’s scanning technology, which The Farm 51 has been developing for over ten years.


Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a sequel to Chernobylite, the game created thanks to the successful  2019 Kickstarter campaign. Released in 2021 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the original Chernobylite finally reached its last development stage by launching on Nintendo Switch a couple of days ago.

And now we're here to bring you the next chapter, which is bigger, better, and more bad**s than the first.

A few months ago, we released the first teaser and trailer for Chernobylite 2. Once again, we received tons of valuable feedback from Chernobylite players and gamers who haven’t experienced the original game. While the overall reception was very positive, many people felt that something was missing—some feature that made the first part such an enjoyable experience for them.  

We’ve listened to your feedback and are here to address that issue. When so many of you, after watching the trailers, expressed concerns that our vision might be heading in a direction that wouldn’t allow you to play the way you truly want, we’re ready to adapt — as we did many times during the Early Access phase of Chernobylite.

Soon, we'll start a brand new campaign on Kickstarter to join forces together, and if you like to check out what it's all about, click "Notify me on launch" on the Kickstarter pre-launch page.

Key Features:

  • Explore the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technology.
  • Create and develop your hero. Attributes and skills will affect the effectiveness of combat, as well as the style of conversation. An arrogant muscle man with a big sword trying to intimidate everyone? Or a smart sniper who always finds the right arguments? The choice is yours.
  • Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system or keep your enemies away with a diverse arsenal of firearms in a third-person perspective - gain complete control over your character. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help. When you explore the game world, you can see it from your eyes’ perspective, but whenever it comes to combat, you’ll get the third-person perspective to see all the threats around you more clearly and be able to react more accurately.
  • The combat system of Chernobylite 2 is a massive expansion of its predecessor. The introduction of advanced melee weapons fight and crafting system gives more diversity to the character build, strategies, and tactics you can create independently. Don’t forget that if you like to play at the pace of the original Chernobylite, you still can!
  • Embark on the exciting journey of team building. Each of your mates is a potential teacher, ready to impart their knowledge and skills. Assemble your team and discover the unique strengths and abilities they bring. The question is, will you earn their trust and unlock their full potential?
  • Adapt your build and equipment to the situation with planewalking, which allows you to change things on the fly. You’re free to develop more than one character skill set. Are you encountering a situation that your previously prepared heavy melee build will solve better than your current ranged sniper? Planewalk and use another one.
  • Develop your base. There, you can create valuable items and upgrade your weapons every day. Assign your people to tasks, and they will take care of your equipment and supplies.
  • Fight for influence and negotiate with factions. The Exclusion Zone is a battlefield that changes every day and reacts to your every action. Can you help them defeat the army of vicious monsters? And when old conflicts are revived, whose side will you be on?
  • Experience online cooperative missions embedded in a single-player campaign allowing players to interact in various ways to achieve the goal.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is coming to PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
