'How to Survive' (ALL) Online Story Co-Op Coming in December

by Rainier on Oct. 23, 2013 @ 5:59 p.m. PDT

Featuring a robust crafting system, unique survival guide and a host of playable characters, How to Survive strands players on a remote archipelago off the coast of Colombia in the aftermath of an unexplained accident … but you’re not alone.

How to Survive is a third-person action adventure game that tests players’ ability to stay alive in a world where the outbreak of an unknown virus has turned most of the population into ravenous zombies.

In order to make it through the day and night, gamers must learn to fulfill their most basic needs such as seeking food, water and shelter, as well as finding an incredible variety of items to combine into dozens of handmade tools and weapons - scrap metal, tubes, bolts, fertilizer, tires, harpoons, and empty bottles are just some of the many items scattered about, but how you use them determines whether you wind up dead, alive or undead.

505 Games informed us that the developers will soon be introducing an online story co-op.  This addition is in response to feedback from the community.

The first patch is planned for the PC in December 2013.  Console will follow … stay tuned for update on timetable.  

How to Survive puts players in the center of the action as someone who, after an accident, finds themselves on an island amidst a small archipelago off the coast of Colombia … but there are other inhabitants, many who are undead. There is nothing quite like being surrounded by a brain-hungry horde of zombies to get the adrenaline flowing … What will you do? Who will you trust? How will you survive?

How To Survive is now available on Xbox Live Arcade and Steam for $14.99, while a Playstation Network and Wii U version will be available later this year.
