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?

“Fade Survival is launching in Early Access to gather valuable feedback from players while continuing to refine and expand the game. The core systems—such as survival mechanics, exploration, base building, AI threats, and crafting—are in place, but Early Access allows us to:

  • Balance gameplay with real-world player input
  • Identify and fix bugs across different hardware setups
  • Add more content like gear, weapons, environments, and quests based on community suggestions
  • Iterate on features such as PvP/PvE dynamics, trading zones, and progression pacing
  • Build a strong player-driven community that helps shape the final vision

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Fade Survival to remain in Early Access for 12 to 18 months. This timeline allows us to expand the world, refine gameplay systems, and polish the overall experience based on community feedback. However, we’re committed to quality over deadlines—so this may adjust depending on development progress and player input.”

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

“We’re continuing to build on the foundation of Fade Survival by exploring additional features, expanding content, and improving overall polish. Areas we’re currently focusing on include more refined gameplay systems, broader crafting and scavenging mechanics, expanded world design, and improved stability and performance. Feedback from the community will help guide where development goes, and we're approaching each step with flexibility to adapt based on what works best.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Fade Survival includes the core gameplay loop and foundational systems necessary for a full survival experience. Currently, players can:

  • Explore a large, hostile open world with dynamic day/night and weather systems
  • Scavenge for supplies in abandoned zones, cities, and wilderness
  • Craft gear, weapons, and tools using a growing list of blueprints
  • Build and fortify bases with modular construction and defenses
  • Engage with hostile AI, wildlife, and environmental threats
  • Participate in PvP and PvE combat, with loot risk and zone-based safe areas
  • Trade with NPCs in early-stage neutral zones
  • Experience multiplayer support, with dedicated server and co-op functionality

While playable and stable, Fade Survival is still under active development. Expect bugs, placeholder assets, and balance issues. We’re continuously adding new content, improving systems, and tuning gameplay based on community feedback.”

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

“Yes. The price of Fade Survival is expected to increase after Early Access as more content, features, and polish are added. Early Access players will get access at a lower price as a thank-you for supporting development and helping shape the game’s direction.

We’ll give advance notice before any price changes to keep the community informed.”

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

“Community involvement is at the heart of Fade Survival’s Early Access strategy. We believe the best survival experiences come from listening to the people who play them. Here’s how we’re involving the community:

  • Feedback-Driven Updates: We actively monitor player feedback through Steam forums, Discord, and social media to help guide balance changes, bug fixes, and feature priorities.
  • Roadmap Transparency: We'll maintain a public roadmap to share what’s in development, what’s being tested, and what’s coming next.
  • Community Polls & Playtests: We'll run polls and invite players to test upcoming features before full implementation.
  • Content Suggestions: We welcome player ideas for gear, enemies, locations, and quality-of-life improvements.
  • Mod Support Planning: We're laying groundwork for future mod support, and community creativity will be a key part of post-launch development.

Players aren’t just along for the ride—they’re part of the team shaping the world of Fade Survival.”

About This Game

Fade Survival is an immersive survival experience that challenges players to endure and thrive in a brutal world where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. Set in a vast, open world, Fade combines resource management, environmental hazards, and dynamic weather patterns to create an intense survival experience unlike any other.

In Fade Survival, players will have to adapt to their surroundings, craft tools and weapons, and build shelters to survive against the elements and whatever dangers lurk in the shadows. While zombies may appear, the game focuses on the full survival experience, where players must balance their needs for food, water, and shelter, all while avoiding hostile wildlife, environmental threats, and other survivors with their own agendas.

Key Features:

- Survival in a Hostile World: Manage your hunger, thirst, and health while navigating a world that can change in an instant. Scavenge for resources, craft tools, and build your own shelter to withstand the harshest conditions.

- Dynamic Weather and Day-Night Cycle: Prepare for unpredictable weather that can alter the landscape, create dangerous conditions, and impact your survival tactics. The day-night cycle adds a level of urgency as hostile creatures and other players become more dangerous after dark.

- Realistic Crafting System: Gather materials from the environment to craft weapons, tools, and gear. Combine items to create new, stronger tools that can help you survive longer.

- Combat and Stealth: Engage in tense combat or use stealth to avoid threats. Whether facing zombies, wild animals, or hostile players, you’ll need to make quick decisions and choose your weapons wisely.

- Building and Exploration: Establish a base of operations and fortify it against the dangers of the world. Explore a vast and varied map, uncovering hidden locations, valuable loot, and secrets about the world of FADE.

- No Hand-Holding: The world of FADE is unforgiving, with no tutorials or hand-holding. Players must learn to survive through trial and error, experimenting with different survival tactics and learning from their mistakes.

- Multiplayer and Community: Team up with others to share resources, build bases, and defend against threats. Cooperation can make the difference between life and death, but be wary – other survivors might not have the same goals as you.

The World of FADE:

The world of F.A.D.E. is a bleak and fragmented landscape, a world where civilization has collapsed, and the remnants of humanity struggle to survive. The environment is as much a threat as the creatures that roam it. From dense forests and icy tundra's to abandoned cities and desolate wastelands, the world is full of hidden dangers, resources, and opportunities.

As players venture further into the world, they’ll discover remnants of the old world, from crumbling cities to forgotten research facilities. These locations can offer valuable resources or dangerous threats, and navigating them will require skill, preparation, and caution.

Crafting and Customization:

The crafting system in FADE is deep and varied, allowing players to craft everything from basic tools and weapons to complex survival gear. Customize your gear, clothing, and shelter to suit your needs, whether you prefer stealthy tactics, brute force, or a more balanced approach to survival.

The Story of Survival:

While FADE offers a rich and immersive survival experience, it also hints at a larger mystery. What caused the downfall of civilization? What secrets are hidden in the abandoned cities and research labs? As players explore the world and uncover its secrets, they’ll piece together fragments of the story that explain the catastrophic events that led to the current state of the world.

A Game for True Survivors:

FADE is not for the faint of heart. Its unforgiving mechanics and harsh world will test your ability to think on your feet, adapt to changing environments, and make tough decisions. Every encounter, whether with the environment, hostile creatures, or other survivors, presents an opportunity to learn, grow, and survive – or perish.

Whether you’re a solo survivor braving the elements or teaming up with others to build a community, FADE offers a survival experience that is both challenging and rewarding. Can you endure long enough to uncover the secrets of this fractured world? Or will you become just another casualty in the never-ending struggle for survival?
