Why you might like it

  • A genuinely distinctive combination of MMORPG progression and open-world zombie survival, from CipSoft (the studio behind Tibia) — a rarer pairing than it sounds.
  • Skill-point-based character building across multiple skill trees replaces fixed classes, letting you build a genuinely custom playstyle.
  • Actively and transparently developed — the team has run repeated public playtests since 2024 and published detailed dev blogs explaining changes to progression, crafting and faction systems based on player feedback.
  • Player-claimable Sector PvP zones (introduced August 2026) give guilds meaningful territory to fight over, layered on top of the zombie survival loop.
  • Every building can be entered and looted, and player-vs-player conflict over scavenged resources adds real risk on top of the zombie threat.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Still in pre-alpha with no confirmed early access date — recent tests have run for limited windows (like a two-week July 2026 test), not as a persistent live game.
  • As with any zombie survival MMO, losing your loot to other players or zombies is a core mechanic, which won't suit players who dislike high-stakes loss.
  • Progression, crafting and faction systems are still being actively reworked between tests, so expect meaningful changes before any full release.
  • No official release window exists yet beyond continued playtesting through 2026.
