CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE WITH A FREE PROLOGUE ON STEAM

DODANE 24.02.25

Download the demo today and get back to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone!

Watch the brand new Story Trailer and play the first story chapter as a free demo before Early Access starts on March 6th  
 

There’s no reason to wait to play Chernobylite 2 anymore. Today, along with Steam Next Fest, we’re giving you access to the game's demo version. The Prologue of the Chernobylite 2 will take you at least 1-2 hours to complete, depending on how many different gameplay mechanics you would like to try and how much you’re into exploring the Zone. The demo lets you begin the open-world exploration. However (because it’s a prologue, not because it’s a demo), it’s a much smaller area compared to the Early Access version that will be launched on March 6th.

Download the game's prologue in the form of a free demo from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2075100/Chernobylite_2_Exclusion_Zone/) today, don't forget to wishlist and join developers on their Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/mehRmzY).



Within the prologue of Chernobylite 2, you’ll be able to get to know the first chapter of Cole Grey’s story, join the Planewalker program, select your class among 6 available options, train your fighting abilities on the Prypyat’s Lenin Square, fly the interdimensional vessel and explore the alternative world in search of Chernobylite. Ultimately, visit the Chornobyl Zone and build your shelter here under the guidance of a mysterious but well-known Black Stalker. And in the meantime, your combat and survival skills will be tested a lot. You need to prove you’re worthy of being a Planewalker!

Thanks to the success of our recently finished Kickstarter campaign, the prologue can be played in both third-person and first-person perspectives. Please note that first-person combat is still a work-in-progress feature that was added within the last few weeks. We recommend playing in the third person if you want a smoother experience, and we encourage you to play in the first person if you're willing to give us your feedback and let us polish this mode. 

The excellent news is that you can play the free demo now and later use your saved game progress within the Early Access version when it becomes available in March. However, to give you this opportunity, we had to keep most of the game content within a demo application, which led to the big demo size (about 115 GB of disk space). We hope this won’t be a significant inconvenience and you’ll enjoy the time spent with the Chernobylite 2 prologue. 

Early Access to the game is just around the corner. On March 6th, players worldwide can play it on Steam. We'll provide about one-third of the final game's content, but in terms of content and time spent playing, it's much more than the first Chernobylite game. Prepare yourself for the ultimate Chornobyl ride!

Also, remember to follow us on our social media (likes, comments, and shares for greater reach are welcome!), and we encourage you to join us on Discord.



ABOUT CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apo action RPG, mixing free exploration of a huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, and team and base management with non-linear storytelling.  The main character tries to escape the sinister Exclusion Zone and return home, breaking the barriers of time and space and fighting the emanations of the insidious Chernobylite.

The story told in the game will make you fight to survive in the most dangerous place on Earth. 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. In the daytime, you can see the Zone as an intriguing, exciting, or even beautiful area, but when dusk comes, the absolute terror starts and you have to face it every night.



CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE – MAIN FEATURES

OPEN WORLD EXPLORATION

Explore and analyze the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in a switchable first-person or third-person perspective - you won't miss a single detail. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technology.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

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.

DIVERSE COMBAT

Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system, or keep your enemies away with a diverse arsenal of firearms in switchable third-person or first-person perspective. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help.

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!

PLANEWALKING

Adapt your build and equipment to the situation with planewalking, 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.

TEAM BUILDING

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?

BASE DEVELOPMENT

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.

FACTIONS

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?

COOPERATIVE MISSIONS

Experience online cooperative missions embedded in a single-player campaign allowing players to interact in various ways to achieve the goal.



Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is being developed by The Farm 51 and will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
