Tencent Games revealed that it’s launching a new game this fall. Titled Undawn, the game offers an open-world co-op action set in a world both dangerous and unforgiving. The game will be available on PC, Android, and iOS.
So why is this world dangerous? That’s because it’s overrun by the undead and the goal of players is to survive and thrive in this zombie-infested landscape. Undawn offers a combined PvP and PvE gameplay. Hopefully, this should give players a fresh take when it comes to open-world survival games.
To survive this hellish landscape, players need to do beyond battling living or undead enemies. They must scavenge resources as well to craft better supplies and stronger weapons.
Again, survival isn’t the only thing important in this game. Players also need to thrive. To do that, they need to team up with other players to build unique shelters and trade resources. They also need to stake out a homestead to fight back against the rampaging undead.
Nothing much has been released about the game except for the possible factions, such as:
- Owl Gang
- Eagles
- Reivers
- Clows
The game’s official website also revealed the Raven Squad. No extra details were mentioned besides the following members:
- Yevgeny
- Roman
- Tom
- Caine
- Catherine
No other information was mentioned about this squad.
In a press statement, Rick Li of Tencent revealed that in developing Undawn, they wanted to come up with a game that had RPG elements mixed in with the freedom offered by an open world. He added that with this particular combination, they hope to redefine the genre.
Tencent Games has a portfolio of at least 140 games and a presence in more than 200 countries and regions around the world. Tencent is known for games like Call of Duty Mobile, PUBG Mobile, and Honor of Kings. The company also has ownership of Riot Games, including the game League of Legends.
