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?

“Dead Zone Revive brings back The Last Stand: Dead Zone, which shut down in 2021, rebuilt from scratch on a new engine and a new server. The game is fully playable today, but a rebuild of this size needs a live community: Early Access lets us find the bugs that only show up with real players, balance the economy, missions and raids, and keep improving the game while people play. Our goal is a stable and complete 1.0, and we are committed to keep developing the game and running its servers through launch and beyond.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have a fixed date. We will leave Early Access once the rebuilt game is stable and fully matches the original.”

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

“Version 1.0 will be the complete original game, stable and polished: every mission, area, building, survivor class and item from the original, working as it did before the shutdown. On top of that we plan regular live events and seasonal content, more languages, quality-of-life improvements requested by players, and performance improvements on lower-end PCs. Early Access ends when the game is stable and fully matches the original.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable. You can complete the tutorial, build and upgrade your compound, recruit and level up survivors of every class, go on real-time missions, loot and craft gear, join an alliance and raid other players. Everything listed in the About This Game section is already in the game; please refer to it for details.”

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

“No. As part of our fan licensing agreement with ConArtist, the game is completely free to play, now and forever.”

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

“Players directly shape what we work on next. Bug reports and suggestions go through support tickets and the public development board on deadzonegame.net, where players can react to and comment on every issue and follow its status from report to fix. Player reactions and comments help us set priorities, and we discuss upcoming changes with players on our Discord. Every update is listed in the public changelog on deadzonegame.net.”
