The post-apocalypse is still a popular travel destination in video games today. Besides Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, there are also smaller games on Steam that want to explore the setting. One of them is Chernobylite 2, which has finally announced the release date for Early Access.
What kind of game is Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone? In 2021, Chernobylite was released, a survival RPG from the Polish studio The Farm 51. In the post-apocalyptic game, players explored a destroyed open world that, despite a catastrophe, is not extinct. However, the surviving beings are not always friendly.
After the successful first part, the second part was announced last year, but initially without a release date. However, this has now been revealed. On March 6, 2025, you can once again plunge into the post-apocalypse, at least in Early Access on Steam. It might be worth it for fans of Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

What can be expected from the game? In the game, you find yourself in the exclusion zone of Chernobyl, threatened by Chernobylite. This is an element that spreads among living beings and the environment. The survivors will try to prevent its spread.
As in Fallout, the game is supposed to offer you a diverse character development that allows for multiple play styles. For example, you should be able to act as a strong powerhouse or as a tactical sniper. There will also be various weapons and abilities.
Additionally, there will be bases that you can not only expand but also use for crafting and improving weapons. There will also be comrades and factions that can help you.
The main enemies in the world are large and dangerous mutants that you must combat with your combat skills during the campaign. In combat, you should be able to switch between third-person and first-person views.
On the official Steam page, it is also mentioned that there will likely be online co-op missions.
As insider-gaming.com reports, Chernobylite 2 managed to secure almost $170,000 during its Kickstarter campaign. The goal of the campaign was $98,678.
The predecessor also received a good reception from players. On Steam, it currently has 81% positive reviews from 11,065 reviews. Fans of the post-apocalypse might also enjoy this game: A survival game lets you see the post-apocalyptic Earth from a completely new perspective
