'Undying' Delayed On PC Until December To Avoid Busy Release Season

by Rainier on Oct. 13, 2023 @ 4:49 p.m. PDT

Undying is a survival game where players take control of Anling whose goal is to find somewhere safe for her son Cody to live on before she is turned by her infection.

Infected by a zombie bite, Anling's days are numbered. She must now fight to survive, not for herself but her young son, Cody. Ensure Cody's survival in this zombie infested world by protecting him, searching for safety, and teaching him valuable skills, at any cost. Even if it means giving in to her new zombie urges.

Limited resources must be managed in order to slow down Anling’s infection while also making sure both Anling and Cody don’t starve from hunger or thirst. In order to be more efficient and to help Cody in the future, players can pass on skills that Anling has learned over to Cody. These skills can be in combat as well as general survival skill such as cooking and crafting.

A perfect balance of managing your days looking for resources and increasing Cody’s skill set will be needed in order to survive the long journey.

Originally planned for release on October 17, 2023, Skystone Games and Vanimals have delayed Undying's launch until December 7, 2023.

Unfortunately, as we've all been learning - there are TOO MANY VIDEO GAMES, and the original date was a difficult window to squeeze into. Realizing it's better to wait a few more weeks than to get drowned out by a certain devilish launch, we decided to push our date out a bit. We'd rather compete with Blue People than a Blizzard.

But do not fret! This gives us extra time to polish the game, improve localizations, and perhaps include some extra goodies for everyone to enjoy at launch, such as this outfit!


We will have more news about what will be happening between now and launch. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
