About the Game

The world has become a wasteland due to a sudden zombie virus outbreak.

You will start as a fragile survivor in this world, overcoming various threats around you and uncovering the secret of the zombie virus.

A Vast, Living Open World

Explore every corner of the seamless open world offered by DARKEST DAYS.

The apocalyptic world, realistically rendered, delivers an immersive experience.

Your journey begins in the desolate town of Sand Creek, where death fills the air.

From desert villages to snow-covered islands and charming resort cities, explore the diverse themed open world, uncover the origins of the zombie virus, and write your own story.

A Variety of Vehicles for Survival in the Open World

Explore the vast open world of DARKEST DAYS using a range of vehicles.

From everyday family cars once used before the apocalypse to powerful trucks and specialized vehicles like police cars and ambulances, you can utilize modes of transportation to navigate the wasteland.

Vehicles can also be used to plow through hordes of zombies. Collect different vehicles and upgrade them with apocalypse-ready modifications to enhance their survival potential.

Surviving the Endless Zombie Threat

In DARKEST DAYS, a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a massive zombie outbreak, you'll face terrifying undead creatures that constantly threaten your survival.

These zombies exhibit aggressive behavior and unpredictable movement, sometimes using different attack patterns to hunt you down.

To survive, you must use every means available. Take them out one by one with precise shooting or unleash devastating firepower with explosives to wipe out entire hordes.

Build Your Own Sanctuary With Residents

In a world full of dangers, you can construct your own shelter to survive.

Recruit various survivors who have endured the apocalypse to form a community with you.

Build facilities for survival with their help to create a safer haven.

Recruited residents can enhance your shelter's production efficiency or become reliable companions in combat and exploration.

Diverse and Immersive Multiplayer Experiences

Beyond the tense single-player mode, DARKEST DAYS offers dense and engaging multiplayer modes.

Team up with other players to survive endless waves of zombies, or take on terrifying giant mutant zombies to earn rewards.

However, cooperation isn’t the only path to survival. Venture into competitive combat zones to compete against others for rare resources while experiencing thrilling battles.

When it comes to survival, there is no single right answer.
