What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that Chernobylite 2, similarly like first Chernobylite, will be a much better game thanks to developing it in Early Access. We saw already that constant feedback from our community allows to adapt our vision to players needs, and for big RPG game number of adjustments we can make this way is huge.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate about 6-10 months. This is the time required to let your feedback influence a project of this scale and to validate together changes made during Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the game's final release to be about two to three times bigger in scope (world size, number of quests, number of characters). Also, the main hero's full story and finishing quests are subject to be delivered in the final release. Early Access is more about finalizing crafting the gameplay loop and connecting it to narratives, assuming that both gameplay and story may evolve because of that. The final version will be better optimized, balanced, and polished overall.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our goal was to deliver the Early Access version, which is very advanced and polished in most parts. According to many closed playtests, most of the gameplay mechanics and big chunks of the content are already polished. Early Access contains about 30-40% of the final scope of the world and story. Most of the weapons and players' equipment parts are already present in the game as lootable elements.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Most likely, we’ll increase the game's price after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Like with Early Access of the first Chernobylite, we plan to gather feedback from Steam forums, our Discord server and other social media channels. We want to invite our community to let us shape the best game we can make, discuss and present our current activities within project updates, and have players involved in delivering suggestions, reporting design problems, and helping us make development decisions.”

About This Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apocalyptic action RPG that combines free exploration of a vast, realistic open world with challenging combat, unique crafting, team and base management, and non-linear storytelling. You’re a Planewalker who travels through parallel worlds in search of the precious, high-energy material called Chernobylite. Cut off from the world, trapped in the Zone, and attacked by hordes of nightmare creatures, you must fight for survival and unite the handful of remaining survivors.

OPEN WORLD EXPLORATION

Explore and analyze a vast, vibrant open world crafted from the real-life Chornobyl Exclusion Zone locations. Switch between first-person or third-person perspective and don’t miss a single radioactive detail.

DEEP CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

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.

PLANEWALKING

Seamlessly switch between different character builds and equipment with Planewalking, letting you adapt to any situation on the fly. Develop multiple builds and skill sets to stay prepared for anything. Encounter a scenario where your heavy melee build would be more effective than your current sniper setup? Simply Planewalk and change your loadout instantly.

DIVERSE COMBAT

Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system, or keep your enemies away with a diverse arsenal of firearms in first or third person perspective - gain complete control over your character. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help in online cooperative missions embedded in a single-player campaign.

TEAM AND FACTIONS

Fight for influence and negotiate with factions. Assemble an unstoppable team from a range of companions you’ll encounter out in the world. Each one brings their unique strengths and abilities, along with valuable skills and knowledge they’re willing to teach—if you earn their unwavering trust, that is.

BASE DEVELOPMENT

Build, upgrade, fortify, and customize your base. Equip your sanctuary from the harsh realities of the Exclusion Zone with the tools to craft valuable items and upgrade your weapons. Assign your companions to critical tasks, from managing your supplies to caring for your gear and crafting your arsenal.
