Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is set to launch in early access for PC on March 6, 2025. Developer The Farm 51 has confirmed that the game will introduce a fully open-world environment, moving away from the level-based structure of its predecessor. Players can expect a shift from first-person to third-person gameplay, though there will still be an option to switch perspectives.

The game was funded through a Kickstarter campaign that exceeded its goal by 170%, highlighting strong fan interest. The sequel will expand on the original’s survival horror and RPG elements, offering deeper character interactions, refined combat mechanics, and an even more immersive post-apocalyptic world.
The story is expected to continue exploring the mysteries of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, with players encountering new threats and uncovering dark secrets. With its early access release, The Farm 51 aims to involve the community in shaping the final version of the game.
