Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone wanders to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2025

The Farm 51 unveils Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, the sequel to the 2021 post-apocalyptic sci-fi RPG. It is releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) in 2025. Players step into the shoes of a planewalker that travels through parallel words as they search for the highly valuable Chernobylite material. Survive in the open world through crafting, base building, and team management in a non-linear fashion.

People can freely choose whether they want to specialize in melee or ranged combat in Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone. Thanks to the power of planewalking, characters can immediately switch to another skill set on the fly as different builds may have an easier time dealing with certain situations. 

Each of the team members in Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone have their own set of knowledge to pass on. Get to know each of them to unlock their full potential and learn even more advanced techniques from them.

A fully fleshed out base development system awaits in this RPG, as well. Players can delegate different tasks to people as they create items and upgrade weapons inside their base of operations.

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

The original game has built a huge and dedicated community, becoming the second most-funded Polish video game on Kickstarter (after Superhot), one of the most successful Early Access campaigns on Steam in 2019, and one of the best 2021 Steam post-Early-Access releases. Over the last 5 years, The Farm 51 has constantly been upgrading and expanding the Chernobylite world with tons of massive free updates, releasing the game on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and currently working on bringing the game to Switch.

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, and relationships with other story characters - each of these elements is expanded many times over the predecessor, providing more opportunities to build your 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.

Now The Farm 51 team is proud to be working hard on delivering the best possible RPG experience set in the post-apocalyptic Chernobyl and soon will be ready to share more details about gameplay, story, and the scope of the game.
