Co-op Zombie Survival Game ‘Welcome to ParadiZe’ Arrives February 29; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Video]
Previously known as Project ParadiZe, developer Eko Software has renamed their co-op open-world survival game to Welcome to ParadiZe, and announced a February 29, 2024 release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Alongside the revamped name and release date, Eko and publisher Nacon have released a “Comeb’hack Trailer” showing off gameplay for Welcome to ParadiZe.
Touting a new genre of game, Welcome to ParadiZe sees players progress solo or with up to four players in co-op in an offbeat and story-driven open world. Players must learn how to survive by mastering a range of game mechanics such as crafting, defending camps, combat, and “zombie hacking”. The story goes that the apocalypse dropped, and thanks to billionaire genius, playboy and philanthropist Jeff Tusk, Tusk Industries’ innovative Zombot Hacking Helmet allows a person to take control of any zombie and live through the apocalypse without a worry.
All you need to do is move to ParadiZe, acquire a Tusk Industries Zombot Hacking Helmet and place it on any zombie. Obviously, it’s not that simple, as upon arriving in ParadiZe, you’ll need to deal with the environmental hazards, as well as the zombie infestation. Build your camp, set up defenses in the form of multiple traps and fortifications to repel zombies. Of course, you’ll also need to “recruit” some of those zombies to help around the camp, which players will work to upgrade to deal with further issues with the locals.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
