In the world of Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, nothing is obvious. As a traveller between parallel worlds, you have been cut off from the reality you know and trapped in the Zone. Constantly under attack from hordes of terrifying monsters and bandits lurking everywhere, you must fight to survive. You must decide for yourself what your survival strategy will be.

Are you a born fighter or do you prefer to resolve conflicts through dialogue? Do you choose to explore the vast open world by day, or do you want the thrill of facing danger by night? Do you prefer to be a lone wolf, or will you strive to unite the survivors who also managed to survive? Your every move matters. How much? Find out for yourself!

We are proud to present the first gameplay trailer from Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone. Scheduled for release on PC and consoles in 2025.






Explore the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in first person perspective. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technologies.

Create and develop your hero. Attributes and skills will affect combat effectiveness, as well as the conversation style. 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!

Adapt your build and equipment to the situation with plane walking, 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.

Embark on the exciting team-building journey. Each of your mates is a potential teacher, ready to share 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?

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 domination 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.

Hello, stalkers!
This week we will talk (again) about what we’re doing now. Recently we’ve reminded you that we’re getting close to the premiere - that means we are focusing mostly on polishing the existing content. That’s all about making the game look better, run more smoothly, bug hunting and much more.

Read the report and changelog to learn more about recent Mega Patch number 6, called “The Truth”:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1016800/announcements/detail/2896333730298683249
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1016800/announcements/detail/2867058981742152933
We’re working not only on polishing the most important things, like mission chains but also on the details. As we’re always telling you about our trips to Chernobyl, how we’ve scanned the areas and even some small objects, we should also tell you that we pay a lot of attention to the more “gameplay” details.



But what about even smaller details? Like for example… blood? We’re working on making the game as realistic as we can, having in mind the gameplay rules and objectives, of course. That’s why we’re trying to make blood splashes better. On these gifs, you can notice the new Igor’s animations too when he is shot by soldiers.


One element of the optimization process is working on NPCs - their gear, behaviour, look. For example, recently we’ve told you that we’re improving soldiers' reactions. If Igor starts shooting at them, they’ll keep their distance if possible. You can’t see that on these gifs, but they also try to take cover to shoot him back from a safe spot. That feature was there for a long time, but some weeks ago we’ve shown you how we’re working on that behaviour.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1016800/announcements/detail/2740956291116634774

But improvements don’t stop at the AI. We’re also making NPCs more “real”, meaning that they should look as realistic as they would look in real life - if they would really live in the Zone and we would meet them there.





For you to better understand how is the optimization done: every piece of new content needs to work with other pieces. No matter if that’s a model of a tree, a new suit for one of the NPCs or the whole new mission.

Adding or changing even a single element can mean that other elements will not work properly. Of course, we’ve our tools to check the compatibility of them and our testers constantly look into every change like that to make sure it WILL work. But sometimes even that doesn’t help so that’s why we need your help!



New level in progress!

If you encounter any problem during your play, please report that on our Steam Forum. Our tech team is monitoring it, so they will try to help you and to take care of it in the game. First, they will try to reproduce it, then they will report it to our programmers' team. Then the bug or glitch can be fixed!

That’s why your feedback is so important for us!


Here’s the link to the transmissions, it’ll always be the same one: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/broadcast/watch/76561198887982618

So that’s all for this today.
Take care, stalkers!

So it has been a week since the new Mega Patch arrived! “The Truth” improved many things, added a lot of content, including new side quests, UI changes, level and much more! So today we’ll talk more about the things we’ve spoken about last Friday.

If you’re interested in learning all about these changes, you can read our Changelog:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1016800/announcements/detail/2867058981742152933


Okay, maybe “visiting” isn’t the best word - after all, you have to let the NAR soldiers capture you. But if you have been in the prison BEFORE the recent Mega Patch, you will definitely see the difference.

We have totally rebuilt the location, so if you remember the buggy, not-so-finished prison… then you remember the simple testing “site” which was useful to look for any technical troubles before introducing to you a proper one.

Not only is the prison a completely new level, but it’s also more difficult to escape - and we recommend you try it at least once or twice. That can be fun!


Remember all those moments, all those tough missions where you wish you could save your game? Well, you can do it now! Since the Mega Patch release last Friday, we introduced this option. This is one of the smaller improvements but can be extremely useful.

You can save your game by entering the menu (“ESC” on keyboard) and there you should see it! You can also load one of those “checkpoints” from the main menu - the one which you see when you start the game.


We really count on your feedback with this one! We’ve reworked the User Interface so it would be more informative, a place where you can check on almost everything important for your gameplay.

You can see how your companions are doing, you can check your recipes and what can be crafted, you can look up your perks & skills - those that Igor “brought” with him to the Zone, but also those learned during his journey to find Tatiana.

You can see the new UI by pressing “I” on the keyboard and navigating towards those 3 tabs. Tell us how you like them!




That’s a complicated one. We’ve put many smaller or larger Easter Eggs, but you should definitely try to find other “winks” from our team. For example, just a few days ago we heard from a player that scanned the QR code that we’ve put on an identity card Igor can find while searching for clues important to his investigations. Just out of pure curiosity!

What did he find you may ask? Well, we don’t want to spoil you the pleasure of discovering that! But you should definitely pay attention to the details. Just like Igor should do when looking for Tatiana!



Here’s the link to the transmissions, it’ll always be the same one: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/broadcast/watch/76561198887982618

So that’s all for this today.
Take care, stalkers!

And another milestone is here! After over two months of very intense work, we’re proud to present a new Mega Patch. The new update, called "The Truth" adds a lot of new things and improvements - read on to see some of the most important content!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrv1AlrkELI

Remember it's Mega Patch number 6, so we're getting really close to the end of production of Chernobylite and we focus mostly on polishing the experience, making the game more balanced, hunting bugs and fixing every glitch.

We are happy to see you enjoy the game in its current state, but remember there's more to come!
Do you want to read about all the changes? Take a look here:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/games/1016800/announcements/detail/2867058981742152933


You'll be able to discover more of Igor's and Tatiana's story, but you'll also learn some nasty things about gruesome experiments that happened in the Zone.

Little Stalker is our new character - you'll have to discover his story by visiting the Red Forest location and fulfilling Olga's mission chain. And you'll definitely see this little fellow many times in the future!



Recently we've told you about a completely new enemy: Armored Soldier a.k.a. Supershot. So we're happy to tell you it's here already! You can encounter him in different situations, but remember - besides being a regular NAR soldier, he is also heavily armored and if you let him aim properly, you'll get hurt badly. Even a single shot like this can mean Igor's death, as he gets more vulnerable for a few seconds.



Also Duster, which we told you about a few times before, finally found his way into the game! Maybe he's not the scariest nor the biggest one, but can be very dangerous as he uses his skills in a deadly manner. You have to track him quickly, avoid his attacks and kill as soon as possible. Or run!



Another thing we've told you about recently. You just have to take a look at it by yourselves! It's dark, dangerous and Igor will have a difficult time trying to escape it!

Tell us later in the comments section how you like the feeling of that place. Of course, you'll have to "visit" it before!



So we have reworked the User Interface a lot. We've followed our own ideas, but also your suggestions too! Right now it's definitely more user-friendly as you may check on your companions, you can see what items, stations or furniture you can craft, you can see your abilities and perks.



How do you like the new UI? Tell us!




We have a lot to celebrate, so thanks to the new Mega Patch release we'll be doing much more streams in the following few days.

Here’s the link to the transmissions, it’ll always be the same one: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/broadcast/watch/76561198887982618

So that’s all for this today.
Take care, stalkers!
