Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone News

[h2]Hi Chornobyl explorers,[/h2]

Once again, big thanks for backing our campaign and helping us in improving Chernobylite 2 with a first-person combat mode. At top of it, with the stretch goals already reached, we will add weapon customization to the arsenal of tools you can use within your journey to Exclusion Zone.



With the first-person camera prototypes we've already prepared, today we made a few fresh screenshots to give a little feeling of what switchable perspectives may be when it comes to playing the game.



Here's a big thanks video from the team and a short recap of what our game and campaign are focused on:

Remember that Chernobylite 2 combat is not just about firearms. We have a massive amount of white weapons and blunt objects to use against your enemies when you're not in the mood to lose your precious ammo. The close combat encounters with a machete or Chernobylite-powered swords may be even more fierce in a first-person perspective.

Many of you asked if we could deliver you some of the original Chernobylite merch, like artbooks. We've dug into the deep of our office catacomb and found something that you may all love. Yes, the physical Chernobylite 1 artbook that we have in our stock will be available as an optional add-on when you pledge to our campaign (but it's limited to 100 copies only).

You keep surprising us, you know? Again, you showed so much support and interest in our game and campaign that we reached our first stretch goal after just a few hours, which was added to the funding targets.



Thanks to this, Chernobylite 2 at the start will include all weapons you know from the original Chernobylite, including extra pieces that were added in post-release DLCs, like crossbow or Makarov.



Speaking shortly, you'll use well-known toys in totally new encounters, allowing you to check how they perform compared to fresh new guns designed and implemented for the new game specifically. At the top of it, because this is what our campaign was mainly about, you'll be able to use them from first- and third-person perspectives.


[h2]And what next?[/h2]
If we step to another stretch goal, we'll expand all these weapons with customization and crafting options from both the original Chernobylite and many more dedicated to the new game combat strategies. I.e. the same Makarov will get plenty of sexy attachments and will play as a modern gun against the well-armed enemy forces.

Yes, we did it! It took less than four days to reach our campaign goal, which is an incredible achievement and beyond our imagination.

Once again, we all can pack our backpacks, Geiger counters, and stalker's equipment to get back to the Exclusion Zone as the gamers have spoken!

[h2]Thank you! You are awesome![/h2]

Your, players, message is evident to us: you want to play Chernobylite 2 and have the Exclusion Zone bigger, better, and more ba**ss.

Thanks to you, we can now focus on developing the alternative first-person combat mode, allowing you to play the game in any style you choose. Whether you're a fan of classic third-person RPGs or modern first-person adventures, you should be comfortable experiencing Chernobylite 2 in a way that is more natural to you.



[h2]What next, then?[/h2]
Of course, it's not over. We are keeping our campaign alive for the next few weeks, and there's plenty more to do to keep growing our community and deliver more cool stuff within the game. We'll add some stretch goals to the campaign now to let us expand Chernobylite 2 with other elements that may be interesting, especially for you, our current and potential backers.



Stay with us; we'll keep you posted about many more cool things. Our campaign is running, and we want to involve you in the whole process. So, let us know in your comments what you think about other things we could do together to make Chernobylite 2 your favorite post-apo RPG game of this decade.
We believed we'd succeed, but the amount and intensity of your support exceeded our expectations.

In less than three days, we've reached another significant milestone.
[h2]Over 1,000 backers have already supported us, and 85% of the campaign goal has been reached.[/h2]
We feel it's incredible to have you all on board. Kickstarter is displaying us today as the most "Magic" title in the Games category, so we feel both extremely honored and amazingly happy.

We want to reward you and all future backers with something really cool. This thing will be a Season Pass, meaning any backer who gets a Steam key for our game will receive all future game updates free of charge. Why should you bother?



In first Chernobylite, funded here on Kickstarter as well, we've been supporting the game for 5 years already, delivering significant and small game expansions, from tiny little things like weapon or gadget skins to massive megapatches including extra locations, quests, game modes and story chapters. Within the time from the game's initial release, we've increased the scale and scope of the Chernobylite content by more than 50%, and it was delivered all for free for our Kickstarter backers. The regular price of paid DLCs released for Chernobylite was more than 30 USD/EUR, and our backers have all of them.

So here we go again: If you support us with any pledge that rewards you with the Steam game key, all upcoming expansions of Chernobylite 2 will be yours free of charge. They will be included in your game as soon as they are released, whether one week or five years after the game's release.



Before, the Season Pass for Chernobylite 2 was among the highest tiers (above 2000 USD/EUR). Still, after many questions from you and our internal discussion, we decided that we need not only to honor all our backers the same way we did in 2019 but also to ask for your feedback when it comes to designing and testing them. So stay tuned when we release more info on the future expansions of the project. We have a lot of crazy ideas already validated, and we're sure they'll be cool for the players.

For the console versions, the DLCs will be handled differently because of technical limitations in the distribution of the game keys. We can't create an identical package right now for console keys, but we promise we'll deliver you free DLCs in another way when they are available (i.e., by providing a free key for every DLC that has already been released).

And if you are one of the backers who pledged for the highest tiers, which initially were the only ones, including the Season Pass, don't worry — we'll contact you directly to make your reward satisfying and exclusive enough with some extra items that will significantly extend your package.

If you still weren't sure, we hope now you know then why it's good to back us on Kickstarter, right? Go on, support us, and grab our Steam key!

It's less than 48 hours of our campaign, and we're already 70% funded - it's amazing, and big thanks to all of you for that.

If any of you still haven't pledged and are willing to grab a copy of Chernobylite 2 together with packs of nice digital rewards, the Early Bird Planewalker Digital Art Edition is still available today. Grab it, before time runs out!



Kickstarter just rewarded us with "Project We Love" badge, and it's the love we all deserved - not only we, creators of Chernobylite, but also you, backers, supporters and players all around the world. High five then!



In following days we'll reveal some nice extra stuff regarding the Chernobylite 2, including Ask-Me-Anything action and more info about the project. Keep watching us!
