Detailed changelog below:

Additions:

Silent Assassin - new weapon - Tactical Crossbow

A tactical crossbow - new, silent weapon for close-quarters combat with a dozen or so improvements that can be made on the new crafting table. Highly customizable weapon to emphasize on the stealth combat approach and to expand the existing weaponry arsenal.

Memory of you - collectible photos

Igor will get the opportunity to search for dozens of Tatyana photos scattered in hidden places around the Zone. Each photo will display a short animation and play the voices revealing the part of the backstory of Igor and Tatyana.

Technology:

Ray tracing

Ray traced effects allow for more realistic reflections and level lighting. This is a significant change in the quality of graphics and you will be able to notice that difference right away ;)

Tessellation

The trees now look more realistic thanks to much greater detail.

Paid content:

Blue Flames Pack

The structures that we build in the base and outside of it will now have a blue aura giving your base a new and gloomy style.

Easter

Hidden Easter eggs appear in the zone. Will you find them all? ;)

April Fools’ Day

The look of the masks of our comrades and opponents is now more like the masks of the clowns everyone likes so much. You all do love clowns right?

We hope you enjoy the new content and your experience with the game will be even greater. Remember, this is not our last call because we’re planning more massive updates this year :)

Enhanced edition - new, richer version

The game today is different than the one you remember from the PC launch in 2021. So far we added a huge new location - Pripyat Residential, new missions, new monsters and today also a new weapon and story elements.

One last thing - Ukraine

Recently we launched a Charity DLC to aid Ukraine. During the war this country is being bombed every day and more civlian casualties and victims need help. Help which will be needed in the following weeks and months. For this reason, we and our publisher All in! Games will take long-term measures to meet the current needs and deliver resources necessary to rebuild the destroyed cities in Ukraine.

Chernobylite - Charity Pack

We’re not gaining any profit from it, all we earn goes for charity. If you feel like it, please support the cause. We want to do as much as possible for our friends in Ukraine. That’s all.

Season 2: Red Trees is now live with new free content!

This time also with new, amazing free content: new story missions, game inception arena as well as DLC for the base

The second huge update in 2022 is now live! This time we also have new, amazing free content: new story missions, game inception arena as well as awesome DLC which will change the look of your base.

Additions:

• VR Games - a unique and challenging game inception inspired by roguelike games which you may enter through a VR helmet in the Base. You will be transferred to the fractal world where you will face enemies (humans and monsters) in several arenas, each more and more difficult! Are you ready for a challenge?

Something new is coming...

• Ghost of the Past: 6 new story missions
in which Tatyana manifests in Igor’s dreams and encourages him to visit various places in the Chernobyl Zone and learn the true history of Chernobyl.

• Play it! - Who said you can’t have a little fun in the Zone? While learning to craft various and very complex structures, electronics and tools, Igor found a way to build… a gamer’s hardware! Now you and your companions can have a little break from all the stresses and terror lurking in the Zone.

Paid content:

Red Trees Pack

Bring the menacing Red Forest spirit into your base and give it an ominous look with the addition of new skins—the Red Trees Pack. Rusty leaves and the red glow emanating from devices will fill your companion’s hearts with warmth and strength for another tough day in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone..

Fixes and optimization:

New content is not the only thing we worked on. There are also a few fixes and changes:

• Stuttering optimization - we implemented a couple of fixes so the issue should be improved. Let us know if this helped on the Steam forum.
• Major changes in Turkish localization. We hope you like it better!
• And other minor improvements.

That’s all for today! Enjoy the new content and remember that this is not all we have planned for the game this year. In a few months we’re going to add a whole new location and an extremely challenging game mode!

Major Patch - Bug fixes and improvements

In this patch we are introducing AMD FSR 2.0 - new temporal upscaling technology to help improve framerates and overall quality.

Also, we were working hard to fix the known issue with the “Ghost of the Past" mission in Pripyat Residential Area and after thorough testing - we are submitting it with this patch. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

The complete changelog for this update can be found below:

Technology:

• Added AMD FSR 2.0 feature (please make sure to run the game in DX12 to use it!) with the following settings available: “Quality”, “Balanced”, “Performance”, “Ultra Performance”
• Improved overall stability - amount of crashes you were experiencing (especially in VR mode) should be reduced now
• Improved Ray Tracing effects in some areas

Major bugs fixes:

• The issue blocking progress in “Ghost of the Past in Pripyat Residential Area” is gone. If you have a save file where the quest is already broken - don’t worry, because going through the timeline is a solution for such a case.
• The issue with some of the items (and extended slots) disappearing from inventory after leaving VR is fixed. Note: Loading broken save from outside VR won’t restore items, but if you load the game saved inside VR - both items and slots will be back
• The event where Semyon asks you to mine the building sometimes was not progressing even if 3+ mines were set up. We extended the trigger area, so the problem won’t occur anymore

Localization updates:

• “Select” and “Exit” text lines on the board with Tanya’s photos were always displayed in English regardless of currently set language - now all languages have their corresponding translations
• We have corrected spelling mistakes visible in some of the dialogues/menus. Most of them were spotted by you and reported on the Steam forum, so thanks for that!

Other:

• Amount of available ammo now always differ between VR and non-VR mode
• Sometimes the game was crashing when Igor was killed by chernohost from specific events - it’s fixed now
• We fixed some random crashes encountered when entering/leaving portals in VR mode

Season 3: Green Walls is now live with new free content!

The next, already third major update in 2022 is now available to everyone! In the latest pack you will find a new mode that significantly increases the difficulty level, a new map and a weapon that can be modified at will. Additionally, we also have a surprise for music lovers.

New content:

• Gate of Madness - a new game mode that significantly increases the difficulty level (note: available only to those who have finished the game). If you thought Insane was difficult, we have bad news for you. Only one save game available. Immediate death with insufficient chernobylite available. Madness, as a new stat indicator, permanently lowering the hero's mental condition, lower morale of companions or the inability to obtain weapons from killed enemies. These are just some of the difficulty-enhancing changes.

• Brute Force - a new weapon. The Makarov is a classic Russian automatic pistol that, after upgrading, can be used as a type of submachine gun. And barrel modifications will give the shells special properties.

• Cooling Towers! - a new map. The power plant cooling towers are two unfinished concerte giants close to Reactor 5 and 6 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Meant to evaporate the cooling water from two reactors, they were never completed as the disaster stopped all works on the site in 1986. The radiation level around them remains high even today. Now you will have the opportunity to visit this spot in person.

• We have updated FSR to 2.1 (for DX12) and DLSS to 2.3 version, and added an option to control sharpness in the game while using FSR 2.0! But these are not the only changes. Check out "Fixes and optimization" for more information ;)

Paid content:

Zone Bard

Expansion of the original soundtrack with possibility to control the music in the base. We add a series of new guitar musical tracks with the possibility to interactively switch between them in the base using a playing device. Anytime in the base player can approach the radio and play the selected music track, including the old and brand new songs. Go back to the base, turn on the radio and enjoy the music you choose.

This DLC will be available for Early Access players for free!

Fixes and optimization:

New content is not the only thing we worked on. There are also a few fixes and changes:

Optimization:

• We have updated FSR to 2.1 (for DX12) and DLSS to 2.3 version
• Some of you suggested that having a control over sharpness in the game while using FSR 2.0 would be a good thing, so we added this option - you can adjust it in video settings at any time (applicable for DX12 version)
• We fixed possible crash during benchmark session
• We expanded information provided in benchmark test summary - now it also mentions FSR, Ray Tracing and DLSS
• Sometimes the game was crashing during longer sessions when both FSR and Ray Tracing were turned ON - we made few improvements so it shouldn’t happen anymore
• We have fixed small graphical glitches which were visible when using FSR on some versions of Nvidia graphic cards

Bug fixes (major bugs):

• VR inception: It’s no longer possible to duplicate “use” interaction on VR machine which resulted in semi-blocker
• VR inception: Thanks to your reports, we managed to catch and fix a bug where skills learnt inside VR would block the same ones available in non-VR mode. Thanks!
• Jail: Loading saves in specific moments during the Chain Reaction mission resulted in Igor being unable to move. Fear not, you won’t be stuck in jail anymore. The fix will work even if you use the same save
• Inventory: Some of you managed to get over 1000 chernobylite crystals and in such a scenario, quest items couldn’t be added to inventory which resulted in a blocker. We were impressed by you dedication and such amounts and decided to increase the crystals’ stack to make sure you won’t be blocked

Bug fixes (minor bugs):

• Localization: Thanks to your keen eye for details, we got reports with spelling mistakes/typos in various texts. We fixed most of them. Once again - thank you!
• Localization: Czech and French languages were missing in some dialogs - they are now added and displaying correctly
• Timeline: It’s no longer possible to fall under terrain after sneaking into specific spot
• Ray Tracing: We fixed few minor visual bugs

That's all for today! Have fun with your new content, and remember that it's not over. In a few months, the next and last big pack of new content awaits you.

Also remember, if you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to contact us - we’ll be there to help you! :)
