The Farm 51 have wasted little time in showing off Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone after its initial announcement this past summer. With the latest gameplay trailer, we’re able to see glimpses of the world of Chernobylite 2, as well as interactions with the various inhabitants, the new obstacles you’ll face, as well as the new monstrosities therein.
A departure from the first game’s gameplay, Chernobylite 2 focuses on free exploration of a huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, and team and base management with non-linear storytelling. You’re a planeswalker who travels through parallel worlds in search of the precious, high-energy material called Chernobylite. 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.
Whether you become the hunted or the hunter depends on how quickly you can evolve, your ability to adapt, and the strategy you follow when exploring the open world of the Chornobyl area. The combat system of Chernobylite 2 is a massive expansion of its predecessor, introducing advanced melee weapons mechanics and a crafting system gives more diversity to the character build, strategies, and tactics you can create independently.
Also new is the Planewalking mechanic. You are able to 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.
Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is currently in development for a 2025 release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
