Van de handen van Get Even ontwikkelaar Farm 51 is er een nieuwe game aangekondigd. Het betreft hier een sci-fi survival horror game die zich afspeelt in de welbekende Tsjernobyl Exclusion Zone. De game werd al eerder voorzien van een teaser trailer, maar de officiële aankondiging en onthulling is nu daar.

De game moet deze herfst uitkomen voor de consoles en pc en het speelt zich 30 jaar na de kernramp van Tsjernobyl af. De ramp in 1986 verwoestte voor heel veel mensen het leven en dit is tot op de dag van vandaag nog merkbaar in de omgeving.

De straling is nog steeds aanwezig en dat zorgt ervoor dat er in de game veel gemuteerde wezens zijn en dat er enkele bijzondere gebeurtenissen zullen plaatsvinden. Om je een idee te geven van hoe dit eruit komt te zien, check je de onderstaande trailer.

About

April 26th, 1:23 a.m. Ukrainian time, 1986. The day on which the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe happened and the lives of 350,000 people changed forever. At the time you were just a young, passionate, naive physicist working at the facility. And like many, you’ve lost what was most dear to you—a loved one. 30 years later you’re still struggling with the demons of the past. So, to finally put them to rest, you return to what’s now called the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

30 years after the catastrophe, the pollution in Chernobyl continues to increase due to the unexpected activity of a dangerous substance produced as a result of the explosion, called “chernobylite.” It is rumored from other stalkers still living in the Zone, that under the influence of its radioactivity, strange things have started to happen. Things only described in tales for naughty children up until now. You’re returning to Chernobyl with one goal in mind: to find your missing girlfriend and uncover the dark secret behind her disappearance. Get ready to confront not only the dangers of radiation and the military presence, but also the potential threat emanating from these new, mysterious happenings. Keep your wits about you and try to maintain your composure, because Chernobylite is going to challenge your very sanity.
