Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that the best games are the ones that are created together with the community and we definitely don't want to create just another survival game. By launching our game into Early Access, we are able to gather feedback from our players in an early stage and improve and extend the game accordingly to create something truly unique.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're working hard to ensure that the game offers a complete survival experience before it's officially launched, and we're aiming for a development cycle of under two years. While it's difficult to predict an exact timeline, we'll be monitoring community feedback closely to determine when the game is ready for launch.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In Early Access, the game will offer the core mechanics and features that make it a fully functional survival game. However, as we continue to develop the game during the Early Access period, we plan to add a ton of new features that will make it even more challenging and engaging. We're planning to introduce additional challenges that will impact your survival and force you to adapt your playstyle. We'll also be adding more ways for players to interact with each other but also with their environment, which will enhance the overall gameplay experience and create new opportunities for teamwork and cooperation.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're proud to say that the game already contains all of the core features that make it a fully functional survival game. From base-building to farming, hunger and thirst, dynamic weather, and much more, the game offers a robust and immersive gameplay experience that will keep you engaged for hours.

We're constantly adding advanced features and improvements to the game, so you can expect new updates and enhancements regularly. You can play the game in singleplayer mode or join online servers to team up with other players and survive together.

A huge portion of the map is ready to be explored, so you can expect plenty of adventure and discovery as you explore the world of Ardem.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“For the Early Access launch of Ardem we will start with a lower price. However, please note that the price may increase once the game has its full release. We want to ensure that the game is priced appropriately based on the value it provides to players and will announce any changes to the pricing model well in advance so that our community can plan accordingly.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We believe that involving our players in the development process is essential to creating a game that truly resonates with our audience. We'll be using channels like Discord to gather feedback from our players and keep them informed about the development process. We also plan to involve our players in decision-making for new features, giving them the opportunity to impact the direction of future updates. Additionally a smaller group of testers will have access to the latest game builds and will be able to raise feedback and work together with the developers.”

About This Game

When the RHAB-14 virus broke out, the world fell within weeks. Cities fell silent, order collapsed, and humanity turned into restless, mutated beings driven by hunger and rage.

Years later, civilization is nothing but a memory. Nature has reclaimed the land, power grids lie in ruins, and every day is a fight to survive.

In Ardem, you decide whom to trust, where to seek shelter, and how to survive in a world where every breath could be your last.

Ardem is an immersive open-world survival RPG that takes you into a virus-ravaged, fully interactive world. Alone or with friends, explore abandoned places, gather resources, build shelters, repair vehicles, and restore power to bring remnants of civilization back to life — or let them fade forever.

Ardem in Detail

World: Explore a 64 km² handcrafted world filled with hundreds of unique locations, hidden paths, and the abandoned remnants of past civilizations. Every corner tells its own story, from overgrown villages to sunken cities. The world not only feels alive, it reacts to you. Repair bridges, restore power grids, or secure new areas to permanently reshape the land. Your actions define an environment that evolves and grows with every exploration.

Electricity: In Ardem, power is not a given, it is survival. Every house, even your own shelter, can be fully electrified if you find or build the right energy source. Gasoline, wind, or solar, you decide how to power your network. Once the current flows, your surroundings awaken: lights flicker on, garage doors open, and outlets hum again. Energy means comfort, safety, and control over a world long fallen into darkness.

Vehicles: Vehicles in Ardem are more than transportation; they are lifelines. They help you cross dangerous lands faster and transport heavy objects, materials, or allies. But every vehicle needs maintenance and repair to stay functional. With the right equipment, you can upgrade and customize them to fit your strategy. From rugged off-road cars to heavily armored transports, each vehicle becomes an extension of your survival.

Foraging: In Ardem, how you feed yourself is your choice. The world offers countless ways to survive: gather edible plants, hunt wildlife, fish, or grow your own crops. Each method has its own risks and rewards depending on your location and preparation. Food means more than energy; it represents stability and progress. Those who plan wisely live longer.

Base Building: Build your shelter exactly the way you want it. Ardem’s dynamic base-building system allows you to freely decide where and how to use materials and which resources to combine. Your base offers protection from weather, infected, and other players, growing into a true home with every upgrade. Connect it to electricity, furnish it with hundreds of decorative items, and create a place of safety before returning to the wilderness.

We will continue to expand Ardem with new features to create an ever-evolving experience.
