'Dead Frontier II' Nearing Early Access, Development Update - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 6, 2018 @ 12:20 a.m. PDT

Dead Frontier II is a new F2P survival horror MMO where you, as one of the few survivors of the outbreak, you must scratch a living out of the decaying ruins of society.

Scavenge for supplies, improve your skills, and trade with other players. All the while, keeping your eyes peeled for the infected lurking around every corner.

We began the alpha testing process with just over 20 people a few weeks ago and I'm pleased to say that things have gone very well. The feedback from the testers has been incredibly positive. Whilst there were some issues, they were all fairly minor and I've managed to iron pretty much all of them out already. With just a handful of bugs left to fix I am now very confident that the game will be both stable and fun to play on launch day.

I can't believe there is less than a month to go until launch day. The time has just whizzed by (for me at least!). I've still got a lot to get done in that time and that unfortunately means that this will probably be my last blog post before EA begins.

For those who are interested, this is what I still have to get done (in order of priority):

  • DF1 > DF2 Reward system
  • Final bug fixes/tweaks
  • Books/journals
  • Basic main storyline
  • Server upgrades
  • Final load test
  • Premium cosmetics system
  • Storage upgrades
  • Marketing/Advertising 

That is a lot to get done in such a short period of time, but I think I can do it (just about). Regardless of if I get it all in or not, the game will launch on August 31st (10am BST).

Name Reservation and DF1 Rewards

This is currently the highest priority item on my todo list, and I'm hoping to have this system ready within the next few days. Once it's done I'll be posting in all the normal locations (Discord, Reddit, Forums etc) with instructions on how to claim these.

Key Features:

  • Old school survival horror awaits in this dark and atmospheric world. Conserve your ammo and make every shot count.
  • Scavenge for scarce resources and rare equipment in the twisting corridors of expansive and ever changing abandoned buildings
  • Come to the aid of the desperate survivors you encounter along the way, or leave them to their misery
  • Trade for what you need in a realistic player-driven economy
  • Create your own unique character build by selecting from a huge variety of skills, rare equipment and cosmetic items
  • Work together with other players or operate as a lone wolf
  • Take to the streets and settle scores in gripping PvP
  • Take part in huge global events; bringing down gargantuan boss creatures and defending outposts from the infected hordes (coming soon)
  • Barricade buildings to create your own safe-house (coming soon)
  • Ethical free-to-play. Spending real money will never give you a gameplay advantage. Only cosmetic items and utility upgrades are available from our shop.

Dead Frontier II is coming to Steam Early Access on August 31st 2018.
