The Farm 51, developer on the recently released into Early Access title, World War 3, just announced a new sci-fi horror title. It's called Chernobylite and it is an upcoming sci-fi survival-horror title that centers around the Chernobyl disaster.
Chernobylite doesn't have a release date just yet, nor are we even sure what platforms it'll be released on. I'm guessing it will appear on PC, but the digital retailer is pretty much anybody's guess at this point. You can check out the official Chernobylite website for yourself, but it's in Polish and really doesn't have any additional information to share at this moment.
Until then, enjoy this little bit of information that was shared with the announcement alongside a quick teaser trailer and screenshots.
April 26th, 1:23 AM Ukrainian time. Exactly at this date and time the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe has started. The melted core of the burning Reactor No. 4 mixed with the other chemical substances to create a highly radioactive material that hadn’t exist anywhere in the world besides Chernobyl.
And we’re going to tell you the story of Chernobylite: conspiracy, horror, survival, love, and obsession in a form of a video game.
But it’s just the beginning. We’re a game development team from Poland that has been spending a lot of time in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone gathering all data and materials required to make the ultimate survival horror experience of the Chernobyl catastrophe. We want to bring you a deep, emotional story, engaging survival and horror experience, and a visually stunning recreation of Chernobyl area achieved with detailed 3D scanning of rich game world, beautifully rendered in Unreal Engine 4.

I'm always skeptical when someone announces a game while they still have one in early access.
