Into the Radius 2 News

[p]Hello explorers![/p][p]This summer, we’re celebrating two milestones on Steam: 5 years since the release of the original ITR, and 1 year of ITR2 in Early Access. To mark the occasion, we’ve prepared a set of special rewards inspired by both games in the series. Please note some of these items will only be available during Early Access![/p][h3]MAIN CHANGES[/h3]

• [p]\[Gear] At the Facility, you’ll find a new patch featuring the emblem of the original Into the Radius.[/p]
• [p]\[Gear] Three toy Pechos have been added to the game — now with a heartfelt visual update, while keeping their familiar ITR1-style look. One was left at the Facility by a fellow Explorer, and the other two can be found in shelters throughout the Pechorsk Anomaly. These miniature versions of the legendary Pecho aren’t just cozy base decorations, you can also take them with you on your next trip Into the Radius.[/p]
• [p]\[Facility] Special mugs have appeared at the Facility for those who joined (or will join) ITR2 at any point during Early Access. After the game’s full release, this item will remain exclusively with players who purchased the game before launch.[/p]
• [p]\[Facility] Those who supported us during the first year of Early Access will find a special honorary reward, The UNPSC Certificate of Distinction, waiting for them at the Facility (available only to those who purchased the game before July 31st, 2025).[/p]
