Racers… Make your way to the starting line! A death race through the multiverse is about to begin, the Ghirapur Grand Prix!

7 February, 2025 — Wizards of the Coast today launched prerelease events for Aetherdrift, the latest set for the world-renowned trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Buckle up for a death race across the multiverse full of high-octane action and adrenaline-fueled Magic gameplay! Aetherdrift will be released for MTG Arena on 11 February and for tabletop on 14 February.

Too fast and dangerous for just one plane…

Get behind the wheel and strap into the driver’s seat, as the stakes are high in the multi-plane Ghirapur Grand Prix! The ultimate prize is an artificial Planeswalker Spark named the Aetherspark. None other than the legendary Planeswalker Chandra herself will be competing for first place as she seeks to claim the Aetherspark for her beloved Nissa, who lost her Spark during the events of March of the Machine. Can you handle the heat as you accelerate to Maximum Speed across Avishkar, Amonkhet, and Muraganda? Go for gold or go out in a ball of flames. But most importantly…go very, very fast.

Local WPN Stores Go Turbo with a New Play Season

Australian and New Zealand Wizards Play Network (WPN) stores are revving their engines to prepare for the Ghirapur Grand Prix Play Season! Running from now until 28 March, eligible events at participating WPN retailers will feature exclusive physical rewards. By playing multiple events throughout the season, players will build speed and receive better and better rewards. Players can search for their local WPN store and eligible events here.

By participating in eligible Aetherdrift in-store Prerelease events, Limited Draft and Sealed events, Standard events, and Friday Night Magic events, players can earn progressive rewards such as a peeking window sticker set of Chandra and Loot, racing patches, themed dice, a themed dice bag, and a license plate keychain to fit out your race-ready vehicle! Players must earn each reward in order by participating in four separate events throughout the Play Season. 

You’re in the Driver’s Seat with new and returning Mechanics

Aetherdrift racers are encouraged to utilise all tools at their disposal to achieve glory. Soup up your ride and chances at victory with the brand new Max Speed mechanic! When a card instructs the player to “Start Your Engines” the player will begin tracking their speed level. On each of that player’s turns, when an opponent loses life, they gain one level of speed until reaching ‘Max Speed’. Various cards will interact with the player’s speed level, generally ramping in power as speed increases. 

Generating speed leads to high-octane gameplay moments, but sometimes a once-off quick effect is needed to put a spanner in the opponent’s plans! Exhaust is a new mechanic in Aetherdrift and represents a one-shot effect that can only be activated once each game. Kick into high gear at a precise moment to chase down an opponent or solidify your lead in the race!

Not many racers can claim victory without a valiant Mount or sturdy Vehicle, so both are key returning mechanics in Aetherdrift. Racers will select between various high-tech or rudimentary vehicles and many-legged or no-legged mounts, all in the hope of achieving glory. What style of racer will you be when you take to the track?

Go for Gold!

Go fast, but look good doing it with Aetherdrift’s lineup of new card treatments and collectible cards that will have the crowds of the multiverse cheering for more.

The ultimate prize, the Aetherspark, will be available in an exclusive Serialised Full-Art, Borderless Foil treatment, with only 500 to be printed across all regions. Each card will display an X/500 denominator, only available in Collector Boosters.

Show off your champion trophy with First-Place Box Toppers! Every Aetherdrift Play Booster Display and Collector Booster Display contains a First-Place Box Topper which contains one rare or mythic rare card in a new gold foil treatment, and one full-art Basic Land.

Giant artworks of Gods have been spotted along the race track. Don’t get distracted as you drive by these breathtaking Borderless Graffiti Giant cards, available in Play and Collector Boosters.

Japan Showcase cards return with race-themed Japanese artwork drawn by Japanese artists, available in Foil and Fracture Foil treatments. Japan Showcase cards are exclusive to Collector Boosters.

Take in the scenery as you cruise through multiple planes with new and returning land card varieties including the new Full-Art Panorama Basics (top row) and Full-Art Driver’s Seat Basic Lands (bottom right), and the returning Borderless Dual Lands (bottom left). 

Magic The Gathering: Aetherdrift includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, 2 Commander Decks, Prerelease Packs, Bundles, and Finish Line Bundles. For more information, visit:

As the beloved Momodora series concludes in this final chapter, Moonlit Farewell offers fans a final gauntlet of gatekeepers. Demonstrate mastery of combat and platforming prowess against the new end credits boss, and relive every earth-shattering face-off in rapid succession in the added Boss Rush Mode.

The new story trailer follows the success of the Kickstarter campaign

February 6th, Gliwice, Poland – Like the first part, Chernobylite 2 is a story of people who try to accomplish an impossible mission and survive in the sinister Chornobyl Zone. 

Add the game to your Steam wishlist to follow the game’s development.

Cole Grey, a former military and security guard, lives in a reality where the economy and industry are based entirely on a substance called Chernobylite. With its help, people have made a real leap in civilization. However, the construction of the utopia has been paid for by massive unemployment, pushing people like Cole to the margins of society. Due to severe financial problems, he joins the mysterious “Planewalker” initiative to provide for his family.

It quickly becomes apparent that there is a shortage of Chernobylite in Cole’s universe, and the solution is the morally questionable initiative that involves traveling to parallel worlds in search of the mineral and obtaining it by any means possible. In addition, the Planewalker service requires appropriate genetic modifications. Cole must, therefore, physically absorb the essence of Chernobylite and, to increase his physical and intellectual capabilities, lose a part of his humanity. However, seeing no other options for himself, he agrees to the bloody and dangerous service, which results in him ending up trapped in the most sinister place in the world: the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. There, he meets a Black Stalker, the Zone’s dark guide and silent ruler. 

Today, we’re revealing a brand new story trailer that introduces the plot of Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone.

Our current Kickstarter campaign is live here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefarm51/chernobylite-2-exclusion-zone-an-open-world-sci-fi-rpg/.

Thanks to this, we can now focus on developing the alternative first-person combat mode, allowing you to play the game in any style you choose. Whether you’re a fan of classic third-person RPGs or modern first-person adventures, you should be comfortable experiencing Chernobylite 2 in a way that is more natural to you.

Chernobylite 2 has just reached the 170% level of funding on the Kickstarter and there’s still a week to back the project in the campaign that achieved another stretch goal. Thanks to this, the game will receive extra locations for playing coop and solo missions. 

Soon, all Kickstarter backers will get access to the demo and Beta version of the game so you can expect the first game previews soon!

Chernobylite 2 will be released on Steam in Early Access on March 6th, similar to the first part in 2019, which was awarded the Top Early Access Platinum Graduate on Steam.

Remember to follow us on our social media (likes, comments, and shares for greater reach are welcome!), and we encourage you to join us on Discord.

ABOUT CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apo action RPG, mixing free exploration of a huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, and team and base management with non-linear storytelling.  The main character tries to escape the sinister Exclusion Zone and return home, breaking the barriers of time and space and fighting the emanations of the insidious Chernobylite.

The story told in the game will make you fight to survive in the most dangerous place on Earth. Whether you become the hunted or the hunter depends on how quickly you can evolve, your ability to adapt, and the strategy you follow when exploring the open world of the Chornobyl area. In the daytime, you can see the Zone as an intriguing, exciting, or even beautiful area, but when dusk comes, the absolute terror starts and you have to face it every night.

CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE – MAIN FEATURES

OPEN WORLD EXPLORATION 

Explore the big and realistic open world of the real Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Chernobylite has taken over the zone, transforming many of its elements, and people are trying to defend themselves against it using prototype technologies.

SWITCHABLE FIRST-PERSON AND THIRD-PERSON CAMERA

You can play the game in any style you choose. Whether you’re a fan of classic third-person RPGs or modern first-person adventures, you should be comfortable experiencing Chernobylite 2 in a way that is more natural to you. Anytime you can choose the perspective in which you will explore and fight in the Zone. 

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Create and develop your hero. Attributes and skills will affect combat effectiveness, as well as the conversation style. An arrogant muscle man with a big sword trying to intimidate everyone? Or a smart sniper who always finds the right arguments? The choice is yours.

DIVERSE COMBAT

Fight for survival with an advanced melee combat system or keep your enemies away with a diverse arsenal of firearms – gain complete control over your character. You can also use the stealth approach or ask others for help. 

The combat system of Chernobylite 2 is a massive expansion of its predecessor. The introduction of advanced melee weapons fight and crafting system gives more diversity to the character build, strategies, and tactics you can create independently. Don’t forget that if you like to play at the pace of the original Chernobylite, you still can!

PLANEWALKING

Adapt your build and equipment to the situation with plane walking, which allows you to change things on the fly. You’re free to develop more than one character skill set. Are you encountering a situation that your previously prepared heavy melee build will solve better than your current ranged sniper? Planewalk and use another one.

TEAM BUILDING

Embark on the exciting team-building journey. Each of your mates is a potential teacher, ready to share their knowledge and skills. Assemble your team and discover the unique strengths and abilities they bring. The question is, will you earn their trust and unlock their full potential?

BASE DEVELOPMENT

FACTIONS

Fight for domination and negotiate with factions. The Exclusion Zone is a battlefield that changes every day and reacts to your every action. Can you help them defeat the army of vicious monsters? And when old conflicts are revived, whose side will you be on?

COOPERATIVE MISSIONS

Experience online cooperative missions embedded in a single-player campaign allowing players to interact in various ways to achieve the goal.
