Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone Announced for PC and Consoles

Developer Farm 51 has announced Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, the sequel to the 2021 first-person sci-fi survival horror shooter. The new game aims to blend open-world combat, crafting, team and base management, and nonlinear storytelling into a compelling and realistic post-apocalyptic action-RPG. It’s due out on PC and consoles in 2025.

In Chernobylite 2, you play as a planewalker, someone who travels between parallel worlds in search of the titular Chernobylite, a precious and powerful material. In that quest, you’ll battle throes of terrifying creatures and do your best to unite and lead the remaining human survivors. Take a look at the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.

The sequel also promises to expand on everything players liked in the first game, such as the story, side characters, relationship aspects, combat, weapons and gadgets, exploration, and more – along with adding an open world. It also includes online co-op for the campaign.

We’ll have more on Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone as development progresses. Wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.
