Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone Kicks Off Kickstarter Campaign, Adds First-Person Mode

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, the sequel to The Farm 51’s original survival action role-playing game, has officially launched its Kickstarter campaign. The crowdfunding initiative aims to gather additional resources to expand the game’s features, particularly a switchable combat perspective that caters to fans who requested the series’ signature first-person view. The Farm 51 analyzed player feedback from the first entry and recognized widespread disappointment in the sequel’s solely third-person camera. Thanks to this Kickstarter, the developers hope to restore and refine a first-person mode, giving players a choice between both perspectives.

To celebrate the start of the campaign, The Farm 51 released a new gameplay trailer that teases the game’s open-world elements, new mechanics, and the eerie atmosphere that the Chernobylite franchise is known for. The trailer also offers a brief look at some of the improvements made to movement and combat systems. Those interested in supporting the project can check out more details and reward tiers on the Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone Kickstarter page. The team has set a target release date for late 2025, though The Farm 51 emphasizes that community support and feedback may influence the final timeline.
