changedEntering the world of Chernobylite 2, even in Early Access, you can expect to double or triple the time spent with the first game - not just because the Zone itself is about 20 times bigger this time but also thanks to the number of quests, events, encounters, and gameplay mechanics. On top of it, you can play from two different perspectives - first person or third person - which is possible thanks to the success of our recently finished Kickstarter campaign.
changedOur goal was to deliver the Early Access version, which is very advanced and polished in most parts. According to many closed playtests and our demo reception, most of the gameplay mechanics and big chunks of the content are already polished. Early Access contains about 30-40% of the final scope of the world and story. Most weapons and players' equipment parts are already present in the game as lootable elements.

Chernobylite 2 is our dream project. After more than 10 years of various activities related to Chornobyl and dozens of visits to this place, we can finally share the massive part of what we consider the ultimate Chornobyl experience. What started with VR documentaries and low-scale indie projects has become a fully-fledged RPG game, playable in the open world, with hundreds of ways to craft your own character and story.

We believe that Chernobylite 2, similar to the first Chernobylite, will be a much better game, thanks to its development in Early Access. We saw already that constant feedback from our community allows us to adapt our vision to players' needs, and for a big RPG game, the number of adjustments we can make this way is huge. We estimate the game will stay in Early Access for 6-10 months. This is the time required to let your feedback influence a project of this scale and to validate together changes made during Early Access.

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.
