Chernobylite
Head back into the world of Chernobylite with a bit of new gameplay to take in for Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone
The darker world is opening up a bit more with Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, and here we go with a bit of a look at how that is going to be when it lands on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC next year. There is still a good amount of time out there for The Farm 51 to change things up, but for now, they wanted to make sure that we are set in the tone and atmosphere of the game we are going to get. Along with a look at some of the old and new combat and other experiences the Chernobylite IP has to offer up to us all. It is a weird and twisted zone that we had to explore and survive once, so it only makes sense that it is going to have to go bigger and better for the second run we have out there. That is why we have some fun gameplay to look at for now.
Okay, fun might be a bit much here for what we have to look at for Chernobylite 2, as most of it shows off the world and visuals we will be taking in. Unless they changed the core of the game to mostly a walking simulation and nothing more. Of course, that is not the case here but most of what we have to enjoy is just wandering about the world once more and seeing how things have been twisted and altered just a bit more. There is a bit of combat mixed in near the end, but it feels like it is all the standard affair for those who played the first Chernobylite title. That is not to say any of that is bad and it does look like there are some great leaps in visuals for this title, I am just getting you ready to have mostly a walk through the world in-engine instead of the stealth and high-paced action that we have had in the game the first time around. Have a look and see just what I am talking about.
Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone — Gameplay
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. You’re a planeswalker who travels through parallel worlds in search of the precious, high-energy material called Chernobylite. Cut off from the world, trapped in the Zone, attacked by hordes of nightmare creatures, you must fight for survival and unite the handful of remaining survivors.
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.
Open World Exploration
Explore the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technologies.
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 a third-person perspective - gain complete control over your character. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help. When you explore the game world, you can see it from your eyes’ perspective, but whenever it comes to combat, you’ll get the third-person perspective to see all the threats around you more clearly and be able to react more accurately.
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 plane walking, 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.
Did all of this gameplay get you excited to see what else is coming in Chernobylite 2 or do you need something bigger to pull you into all of it? Will this one be more of a walking simulation than before or is the team just working even harder to surprise us with more of the fun stealth and gunplay that they did not want to spoil things yet? How vast will this part of the world be and will we have better options to head out and explore off the rails that last one kind of had us on? Wander on down to the comment section below to discuss all of that and anything else you wish to bring up.
