Two months after the Early Access launch and right in time Christmas, the developers from The Farm 51 are introducing a second major update, this time with an entire new location. Visit the most radioactive place on Earth – the Red Forest, which is now available to explore in-game! Along with the new location comes substantial improvements and additional content, all completely free for every Chernobylite owner. And for those who haven’t bought the game yet, Chernobylite is 30% off for the Winter Sale on Steam and GOG.
Just as developers promised when sharing the Roadmap with players, the Red Forest mega-patch is now live! The update introduces – apart from the new area – Base Storage, Free Play Mode, and optimization tweaks. Recently, we enriched the game with a new firearm, the Assault Rifle, a weapon customization system, new crafting items, and tools. And that’s not all that happened these past few weeks – the game has also been localized in several additional languages.
And here’s a small Christmas gift for the community! Check out the Chernobylite Story video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d55MgCVk05Y)

MEGA-PATCH ADDITIONS:
