Rescue Drone Simulator: Second Chance burns Katowice, and not every radio voice is an ally

The Farm 51 built its reputation by rebuilding a real catastrophe: Chernobylite turned a scanned Exclusion Zone into a place you could feel in your chest. Rescue Drone Simulator: Second Chance carries that instinct for place into a genre usually content to celebrate the machine, and its first gameplay trailer makes the argument plainly. The drone is the tool. The disaster, and the people talking you through it, are the subject.

The footage opens inside a full rescue-and-firefighting operation on a burning Katowice map, shot entirely through the drone’s own camera. A Firefighting Drone and a Medical Drone work the same blaze side by side, and the studio insists that wind, smoke and the weight of whatever you are carrying all push back on the controls. In the announcement, Anraga Studios frames it as a machine you have to master rather than a flying camera, and the framing backs the claim: every shot comes from the craft itself, so the operation is read through the pilot’s own narrow window rather than a cinematic chase camera.

Katowice is not a neutral choice. The game’s promotional art sets the Spodek, the 1971 arena locals call the Flying Saucer, inside a wall of fire, and The Farm 51 works out of Gliwice, a short drive away in the same Upper Silesian conurbation. Publisher Anraga Studios is based in Warsaw. This is a Polish team staging its emergencies on home ground, the way Chernobylite staged its dread on ground the studio had walked and scanned.

Then the trailer changes gear. A fast montage cuts through other corners of the game while voices crackle over the radio: the team the campaign will introduce, the specialists the September reveal described as rescuers brought back into service by remote technology. The studio’s sharpest line is a warning. Not every voice on the frequency belongs to your side. For a simulator, that is a narrative promise, and it suggests the campaign wants an antagonist as well as a fire to put out.

Rescue Drone Simulator: Second Chance is set for Q1 2027 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Anraga Studios planning a simultaneous launch on all three platforms. The game can already be wishlisted on its Steam page. Anraga publishes drone-themed titles built on Unreal Engine 5, from FPV games to UAV simulators. The Farm 51 has been working since 2005, when former People Can Fly developers founded it, and its catalogue runs from NecroVisioN and Get Even to World War 3 and the Chernobylite series.

Plenty of simulators let you fly. Fewer ask who is on the other end of the radio while you do, and that question is the one this trailer leaves hanging over the smoke.
