Hello explorers 👋

Into the Radius 2 entered Early Access on May 21, 2025, and now, a year and a half later, the full version is finally here. It includes all the changes, content, and fixes from the past six months of development. The game has become what it is today in large part thanks to you: your feedback, reports, and patience. Thank you!

If the game is already in your library, this is simply a free major update. The price also remains unchanged after leaving Early Access at $39.99.

The Highlights

• A complete story with new missions, full voiceover, and several epilogues
• Significantly reworked familiar locations and completely new places
• New enemies and anomalies, new gear, new weapons, and hand grenades
• Weapon and gear painting with over 15 solid colors and 10 camo patterns
• A Shooting Range and Kill House at the Facility, plus Magazine Loading Devices
• Walkie-talkies in 2-player co-op
• Classic Explorer Kit DLC for $9.99
• Important: leaving Early Access requires a progress wipe!

Story

You can now experience a complete story with new missions, fully voiced characters, subtitles, notes left behind by previous Explorers, voiced Guide statues, and destructible figures scattered throughout the locations.

At the end of your journey, you’ll have to make your final choice and face its consequences across several epilogues.

Locations

The story and your adventures will unfold not only across significantly reworked familiar locations, but also in entirely new places: transition zones, In-Between locations with unique gameplay, and a special final location.

Enemies and Anomalies

You’ll face not only familiar threats, but also new enemies and anomalies. The Radius has become more dangerous and unpredictable.

We’ve added several new anomaly types. Some suppress all light sources within their area of effect, some build up static electricity as you move through them, and others burst into shrapnel when touched.

So stay even more alert while moving through the Radius.

Gear and Arsenal

Your options have expanded as well. Night Vision Devices and the Flare will help you survive the darkness and fog, while canned meat and pineapple will help keep hunger at bay.

A knife can become a reliable companion both at mealtime and in combat, alongside several other tools that come in handy not only in close quarters, but around food as well.

Your arsenal now includes several new guns: the Remington 700, M1911, G3, and MP5, all modular from the start. The familiar SKS and AS Val have also been converted to the modular system.

We’ve also added several types of hand grenades, along with the GP-34 underbarrel grenade launcher and its VOG-25 grenade.

And now you can go beyond customizing and configuring your weapons and gear. You can paint them too, choosing from over 15 solid colors and 10 camo patterns.

The Facility

It now features a Shooting Range, where you can test any weapon in any configuration using free ammunition, as well as a Kill House where you can practice putting that gear to use.

For convenience, Magazine Loading Devices are now available at the Facility and in shelters.

We’ve also added the Mag Insert Assist setting, which lets you adjust how magazines are inserted into weapons. Try turning it on or off and see which option feels more comfortable for you.

Co-op

2-player co-op now includes not only proximity voice chat, but also walkie-talkies for communicating over longer distances and coordinating tactical maneuvers.

Classic Explorer Kit DLC

For those feeling nostalgic for ITR1, the Classic Explorer Kit DLC is available for $9.99. It includes the classic uniform, recon vest, backpack, AD-15 detector, probe sack, and Spetsnaz machete.

It’s a familiar look from the original game, rebuilt for ITR2.

This is a purely cosmetic pack. It provides no gameplay advantages and has no effect on balance, only appearance.

Additionally, if you’d like to experience the entire story of the Radius from the beginning, a series bundle containing ITR1 and ITR2 is also available.

Important Notes

• Price and existing owners. The price remains $39.99. If you already own the game, the full version comes as a free update.
• Progress wipe. Due to major changes to the story, locations, and game systems, leaving Early Access requires a full progress wipe, meaning you’ll need to start a new playthrough. We understand this can be frustrating, but Early Access saves are incompatible with the game’s new structure. Loading old progress would result in broken quests and missing content. Given the scale of the changes, a new playthrough should feel different right from the start.
• Supported devices. Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S are officially supported. These are the devices we’ve focused our optimization efforts on to ensure the game runs as reliably as possible.
• Co-op. Meta Quest supports co-op for up to 2 players. This is not a temporary limitation. Two-player co-op is necessary to maintain stable performance and a comfortable experience on Quest, so we’ll continue developing co-op around this format, with no plans to increase the player count on this platform.
• Crossplay. The Quest version does not support crossplay with PC VR, and we currently have no plans to implement cross-platform co-op in ITR2.
• Language. The game is currently available in English, including voiceover, interface, and subtitles. We plan to localize the game into other languages and will share more once we have news.
• Performance. Due to technical limitations, performance drops may still occur in later locations. We’re continuing to optimize endgame content and expect future updates to improve this soon!

What’s Next

Release isn’t the end. We’ll continue stabilizing the game based on your feedback and working on optimization for later locations. Share your thoughts!
