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?

“The game is entering Early Access to allow players to experience it while it is still evolving and to gather feedback that can meaningfully influence its development. Early Access provides an opportunity to test mechanics, pacing, balance, and content structure with a live audience, and to iterate on those elements over time before considering the game complete.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately 2–3 years, though this may change depending on development progress and feedback from the community.”

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

“The full version is planned to expand on the Early Access experience with additional content, deeper mechanics, and further refinement across systems. Planned improvements include expanded gameplay features, additional campaign content, improved balance and pacing, and overall polish based on community feedback and testing throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes a playable core gameplay loop, foundational systems, and a portion of the campaign. While the game is stable and playable, some features, content, and refinements are still in development, and the experience will continue to evolve during Early Access.”

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

“Pricing may change over time as content and features are added during Early Access, though this has not been finalized.”

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

“Community feedback will play an important role in development. Player input will be used to help guide balance adjustments, feature prioritization, quality-of-life improvements, and overall direction. Feedback will be gathered through Steam forums and other community channels throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

"He sees himself at a witches' sabbath, among monsters, sorcerers, and the dead…"

The world is dying. The hard part is living through it.

Character Customization – Create your survivor and immerse yourself in a story that is truly your own.

Open-World Exploration – Explore an infected-overrun Tokyo, entering homes, stores, police stations, and many other buildings. Every place with its own story, its own secrets.

Explore, Fight & Survive – Search for supplies, manage your inventory, and fight the infected with melee and ranged combat: blunt and bladed melee weapons, Pistols and Assault Rifles. Go out alone, or with your group members.

Simple Crafting – Scavenge, combine, survive.

Story-Driven Gameplay – Immerse yourself in the world, explore personal stories, interact with a charming cast and shape how your group sees you.

Who will survive?

Illustrated Storytelling – Experience the story through drawn cinematic event CGs, expressive character portraits, and immersive text-driven sequences.

Expect richly written dialogue, introspective narration, and slow-burn character development woven into the day-to-day of the end of the world.

Leveling & Progression – The dead grow stronger each day. So must you.

Your survivor grows by taking risks—killing infected, scavenging, and staying on the move. Every day that passes makes the infected tougher, forcing you to adapt or die. Damage multipliers increase as you level, but the infected grow more resilient with time. There's no safety in standing still; it will only get you overwhelmed. Push forward, burn through ammo, and fight to stay one step ahead. In BLACKOUT, the world doesn’t wait for you.

It consumes the unprepared.
