The Front takes place in a post-apocalyptic sandbox landscape populated with zombie-like mutants and hostile factions. In another reality, a tyrannical empire has conquered the world and is enacting a global "citizen" policy. Using monitoring devices, a ruthless will to kill, and advanced technology, the empire seeks to change mankind forever. Already stripped of their freedom, faith, and in many cases, life, humans are on the verge of finally losing that which they call home. The surviving members of humanity's resistance are hoping to use time travel technology to return to the past and correct the course of history.
On this war-torn land, players will engage imperial forces, exiles, and rebels in an epic battle that will determine the fate of humanity. In their fight to rewrite the world’s fate, players will explore ruins and enemy areas, craft weapons and equipment, build bases, pilot vehicles, battle the elements, and contend with fearsome foes.
Danger lurks everywhere in The Front, and players will need to work together to survive. Building a base with adequate defenses is important, but friends can mean the difference between death and survival when exploring the world to scour for resources and crafting formulas — especially when fighting off waves of enemies.
Samar Studio announced that The Front will launch in early access on October 11, available on Steam and Epic Games Store for $19.99 USD.
Players will receive a 20% discount at $15.99 USD if they purchase within the first week of release.
Early access in The Front will unlock level 1-60 content, where players can progress through the ranks and unlock more advanced gathering and production equipment, modern weaponry, and a wide range of ground and air vehicles.
“At this stage, we have built a large world of 36 km² for players to survive, build, and explore. At the same time, the Early Access version also has good audiovisual effects and considerable content to meet basic gaming needs. We have plans to improve the game in various ways, including more efficient performance, better graphics, better music&SFX, and additional language options. We're working to create richer game content, which may include more explorable areas, more diverse building modules, vehicles, and weapons, and modding options for players to create exciting new content.”
