Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone set to launch a Kickstarter campaign soon; new 'RPG Showcase' trailer

The Farm 51 has announced that Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone will launch a Kickstarter campaign in the future, although a launch date is not stated other than "soon". The Kickstarter page is live.

Additionally, a new 'RPG Showcase' trailer has been shared, showcasing dialogue, combat, stats, and more. The trailer can be found below, alongside a description, via The Farm 51.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is set to release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) in 2025. In case you missed it, an announcement trailer was revealed in August 2024, followed by a gameplay trailer in October 2024.

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a sequel to Chernobylite, the game created thanks to the very successful  2019 Kickstarter campaign. Released in 2021 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the original Chernobylite finally reached its last development stage by launching on Nintendo Switch a couple of days ago.

And now we're here to bring you the next chapter, which is bigger, better, and more bad**s than the first.

It’s a post-apocalyptic action RPG, blending free exploration of a huge, extremely realistic open world with challenging combat, unique crafting, team and base management, and non-linear storytelling. 

A few months ago, we released the first teaser and trailer for Chernobylite 2. Once again, we received tons of valuable feedback from Chernobylite players and gamers who haven’t experienced the original game. While the overall reception was very positive, many people felt that something was missing—some feature that made the first part such an enjoyable experience for them.  

We’ve listened to your feedback and are here to address that issue. When so many of you, after watching the trailers, expressed concerns that our vision might be heading in a direction that wouldn’t allow you to play the way you truly want, we’re ready to adapt — as we did many times during the Early Access phase of Chernobylite.

Soon, we'll start a brand new campaign on Kickstarter to join forces together, and if you like to check out what it's all about, click "Notify me on launch" on our Kickstarter pre-launch page (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefarm51/chernobylite-2-exclusion-zone-an-open-world-sci-fi-rpg/).
