What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to allow players to actively participate in the improvement of Z Ops: Deadzone. Given the scope of our project, we aim to gather as much feedback as possible from the community to adjust features, balance gameplay, and perfect the gaming experience. Early Access will also enable us to test mechanics like raids, combat against zombies, and the management of colonies in real conditions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access period is indefinite, but we estimate it will last for at least 12 months. We have a lot of content and features to add, and we want to take the necessary time to ensure a polished and complete experience.”

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

“The full version is expected to offer much more extensive content, subject to development progress. Here are some of the planned features we aim to include:

  • A larger world with additional raid maps.
  • A wider selection of customizable weapons and accessories.
  • New types of zombies.
  • More missions and expanded side quests.
  • More interactive factions.
  • An improved progression system with more detailed combat and raid skills.
  • Performance optimizations for a smooth experience across a wide range of setups.

We also plan to explore dynamic events, cooperative missions, and enhancements to colonies and resource management, depending on the development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes the following:

  • A first-person mode with two playable weapons and accessories.
  • Standard zombies.
  • A small map for raids with a loot system.
  • Part of a campaign mission is playable.
  • A functional colony with a cafeteria, sleeping quarters, command post, and shop.
  • Basic game menus and options.

The game is fully playable, but additional content, balancing, and optimizations are still needed. We plan to release regular updates throughout Early Access, introducing new features and improvements based on player feedback.”

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

“Yes, the price will gradually increase during Early Access as major updates introduce new content and features. This reflects the game's evolving state and the addition of more substantial content over time. The final price will increase again at the full launch to reflect the complete and finished version of Z Ops: Deadzone.”

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

“Join our community on Discord to share your ideas and suggestions, and stay updated on the development of Z Ops: Deadzone. Your feedback is essential in helping us improve the game and shape the final experience.”

Z Ops: Deadzone

Dive into an apocalyptic world where humanity fights for survival. In Z Ops: Deadzone, an intense first-person shooter, you play as a member of the Z Ops, a global organization created to eliminate the zombie threat, infected by the Bane-Z parasite.

Synopsis:
The apocalypse was not caused by a simple virus, but by an extraterrestrial parasite, Bane-Z, which takes control of human brains and transforms its hosts into ruthless zombies. This plague continues to spread across the world, and as civilization collapses, the Z Ops fight to prevent humanity's extinction. You'll need to carry out extraction missions and participate in raids in infected areas to recover essential resources for survival.
