After roughly 1.5 years in Early Access, The Dead Await is set to officially launch on May 18th, marking the culmination of multiple major updates, gameplay improvements, and community-driven changes that have shaped the game into its full release vision.
🌏 Traverse the Open World
Explore a vast world torn apart by a zombie apocalypse, from derelict cities full of loot and zombies to new settlements founded by survivors with opportunity and backstabbing abound. Gather food, water, fuel, and gear to survive the drive while managing your resources to ensure everyone gets to the destination safely.
🃏 Stack the Perfect Cards for Combat
Build the survivor you want using a robust attribute, skill, and perk system. Experiment with combinations and character builds, from a suave lockpicker to a mindless berserker and everything in-between. Build up your deck during your travels, taking a team of rag-tag survivors to veterans with incredibly rare cards at their disposal!
🚗 Upgrade Your Death Drive
The caravan is at the heart of your journey to discover the truth. Upgrade it with workbenches, storage, and other features to turn it into a true mobile base. Swap out vehicle components to modify the caravan's performance. Engine, suspension, tires, all affect how you traverse the world - and your chances of surviving!
