Chernobylite, the survival horror set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, has had its full release delayed to the second quarter of 2021. The original plan was to launch version 1.0 in the first quarter, though The Farm 51 did not use COVID-19 as an excuse for the delay. In fact, they explained how it’s about improving voice acting and localization, as well as adding content and features.
The developers have also promised that this new content will be available free of charge to those customers who have supported Chernobylite on Kickstarter or purchased it through Steam Early Access. The game is also coming to consoles, although a few months later than the PC release.
The second good news is that most of the team, which doesn’t take part in the translation “business,” will not sit idle and wait. We’ve promised you that Chernobylite will have our constant support and development, even after we leave Early Access, and we’re going to prove it again.
Moving premiere to Q2 2021, simultaneously, we’re creating new content and gameplay elements that previously were supposed to be published as DLCs. This means that the final version of Chernobylite will be bigger and filled with new content, which will enrich the experience and make playing it even more pleasurable. Among these additions, you’ll find a new location, new weapons, new enemies, extended cooperation with other in-game characters and tons of fixes in the existing mechanics and tools.
