Welcome to another weekly dev update, survivors! Let's check up on all of the recent happenings with the development for Outbreak: The New Nightmare
Thank you MrRSpeedy for providing the gifs and some screenshots for this update and the many that preceded it!
New Scenario - The Lab
The lab is the final campaign scenario featuring some genre-classic elements in an exciting finale. As the survivors work their way through the asylum and prison levels, they eventually find a research laboratory. Will it offer them safe refuge from the undead threat...? It's unlikely, but you'll need to play to find out!
The lab is a high tech haven that unfortunately birthed the outbreak that's consuming the local area. The survivors will need to pull together and find a way to destroy the source of the outbreak once and for all... but can they make it out alive?
Featuring multiple objectives for the campaign scenario, a classic boss fight and much more, you'll be in for a fight for your life. This location will also feature it's own Onslaught variant, as well as a fun Experiments scenario that we'll discuss some time in the future.
New Scenario - The City
It's important to note that the city layout was created by Standemonium!! (as well as part of the layout to the Office location). Thank you Stan for the awesome work setting the framework for the map and giving me a nice playground to build it out in!
We've been teasing and hinting at the city location from before the game was released in Early Access. We're finally full steam ahead, putting it all together and making all of the game elements shine in the darkness.
The city takes place chronologically as the second scenario in the campaign. After the survivors escape the horrors of the shipping building in Outbreak, they'll find themselves walking out onto the city streets.
The city is in terrible shape. Cars are burning, carnage is everywhere and destruction reigns. The survivors will need to work their way through the undead metropolis and secure a vehicle for escape. During the way, they'll need to clear several obstructions to reach their destination.
As with all locations, the city will feature its own Onslaught and Experiments variants. We're not ready to talk about the latter yet as it's currently in deep development, but stay tuned.
So when do we get to play these new locations?
Sit tight, it's going to be a little bit of a wait. We're going to work on polishing up at least two locations (6 scenarios) for the next content drop. We do not have an ETA for when these will release, but it'll likely be a few weeks at best guess. So sit tight and stay tuned for new screenshots and gifs as development continues!
Thank you!
