The science-fiction survival horror game Chernobylite has been on Steam Early Access for more than a year now. Its developer and publisher The Farm 51 has been hard at work trying to improve and refine its unique RPG.
Just recently, The Farm 51 has announced and confirmed that Chernobylite will be released on consoles as well. More specifically, both the current-gen and the next-gen consoles will be seeing a full release of the game.
Since its Early Access release, Chernobylite has grown and improved in more ways than one through numerous major patches. We simply hope that these content updates are more than enough to build a strong foundation for the game; enough to satisfy the fans once it gets fully released.
We have yet to find out what platforms the game will be released on, although many fans are suspecting that Xbox and PlayStation consoles will be included. What makes Chernobylite so exciting is that it offers a unique blend of combat and exploration to its players, which is definitely a factor in sci-fi horror that will keep one’s heart pounding.
With this upcoming title, you will be able to enjoy unique crafting, as well as discover secrets from the real Exclusion zone. In addition to that, those who enjoy non-linear narratives will definitely like Chernobylite, as this game will give you just that.
You will be playing as a physicist, specifically an ex-employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant. Now, your mission is to find out what happened to your beloved, as you traverse a world that has been contaminated by radioactive energy.
Not only that, but you have to keep an eye out for a variety of things that could possibly hurt you. Remember: the military isn’t the only thing you have to contend with. Chernobylite deals with a lot of themes that are ingredients to a fantastic game, namely obsession, horror, conspiracy, survival, and even love.
This thrilling adventure will prove to you that how you survive your fears is just as important as facing them.
As you go through the Chernobyl zone, you can either partner up with other stalkers or compete against them. Although you have to keep in mind that life is fragile, and every decision you make will either ensure the survival of your comrades or lead them to their demise.
You can take your sweet time in making the necessary preparations, but this doesn’t mean that the story will stop or wait for you to become ready. The narrative continues with each passing minute whether you want it to or not, so you need to be quick. You don’t have the time to slack off, as supplies continue to dwindle and your chances of survival are decreasing.
Another interesting mechanic that Chernobylite offers to its players is its crafting. The game’s crafting system allows you to create a variety of gear and weapons that will keep you safe from both military and supernatural threats.
With the help of these tools, you need to remain undetected while in the zone as you gather all the evidence you need in order to piece together what happened in the past.
Chernobylite is expected to have a full release some time next year on PC and consoles.
