About the Game
Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apocalyptic, hybrid action-RPG in which unfettered exploration of majestic Chornobyl mixes with dark, survival horror & sci-fi atmosphere.
Play as Cole Gray - an experienced Planewalker, who sets off on a journey to the unknown and undiscovered regions of the Chernobyl Zone in the search of cure for his daughter.
Fight for your survival, manage resources and make decisions that will affect the entire Zone. Just remember… Everything comes at a price.
RUINED BEAUTY
Explore vast, dark, gloomy and mysterious world of Chornobyl, created and developed in detail on the basis of the real life locations.
COMPLETE FREEDOM
Cautious stealth or guns-blazing action? Classic firearms or cold steel? TPP or FPP Camera? How you approach things is entirely up to you. Use this to your advantage.
MAKE YOUR MARK
Develop your character, unlock valuable new skills, form strong alliances, and make decisions that will affect the whole around world.
UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY
The choices you make in the game will allow you to discover a non-linear story and experience one of the several possible endings. Everything happens for a reason and has its price.
FEELS LIKE HOME
Build, upgrade, fortify and customize your base, creating not only a place where you can craft and upgrade your items, but also a safe haven for you and other Chornobyl explorers.

Today’s update brings another batch of fixes and improvements to your experience in the Exclusion Zone. Thanks again for all your bug reports and feedback – here’s what’s changed:
Community request:
We have added an option that allows you to permanently hide all indicators related to stealth. Immersion fans will appreciate this,
Taking damage will no longer interrupt reloading, which should make fighting melee-armed enemies with firearms less frustrating,
Improvements:
We have significantly improved the behavior of stealth indicators. They now appear gradually as the threat level increases, and their color more clearly reflects the alert state of a given enemy,

Final early access endgame message adjusted,
Critical strike indicator text now changes based on enemy stamina state,

Fixed sound bug when putting on the VR helmet,
Fixed looping music issue with Tatyana's theme in Planewalker Tech,

Improvements/Additions:
- [Community Request by @Cast]Automatic Camera Switch – If you liked our original idea for the action camera (Tablet/FPP during exploration, TPP during combat) and prefer it over the current manual view-switching option, you can now restore it in the game settings.
- We added a popup that appears after changing graphic settings, informing you that some shaders need to be recompiled.
BTW: We’re aware that shader compilation is long and annoying. We will definitely optimize and significantly speed up this process. But for now, we decided that a longer (and optional) compilation is better than continued suffering from the stuttering nightmare caused by PSO.
Fixes:
- Cole will no longer appear bald in the inventory view
- On controllers, when using the Tablet in TPP view, LT will no longer trigger both scanning and zoom at the same time
- Suppressed weapons should now have correct sound effects
- We've fixed the sound effects for the new crystal energy weapons
- We've fixed camera angles that were showing the wrong things in certain dialogues
- We've fixed a rare bug that caused the game to stop auto-saving
- We've fixed an aiming bug when using one of the AK-47 variants
- We've fixed a floating road near the Eye of Moscow area
- We've fixed a rare crash caused by issues with the game’s physics
- The Crystal Laser will no longer fall under the level when dropped from the backpack.
- We fixed a bug that could occasionally distort faces during their animation in dialogues. Everything should look correct now.
