It’s been 6 months since our last developer update! We know - that's a bigger gap than any of us intended or expected, but the primary cause of this has been a huge focus on the development of the title (see below for more!). We're keeping things fairly brief in this update: consider it the 'warm up' to something much bigger in the new year - and a preemptive note to explain that we don’t plan on sharing more for the rest of this year. The team is still hard at work with our heads down and spirits up! Today we’re sharing a small preview of how the game is looking in Unreal Engine 5 through 3 new screenshots of the game in action. While we’ve had some progress put into a possible new trailer, that too will have to wait until 2024. Development is going well - really well - and as part of our continued planning, we've decided to retarget our Early Access release date to the second half of 2024 to give the team enough time to make the game a truly worthy sequel to NMRiH1. We also want to make sure we make a big splash when we launch - there are some great opportunities coming up throughout 2024 that mean we can really get the game “out there”. We don't intend to delay the project further - we've put a lot of thought into choosing our new date, and that's what every one of us will be working towards. The established development studio that Lever Games has joined forces with has a metric ton of faith in the project, and are eager to give it the time it needs to make the game amazing, rather than rush it out. Our design team has been hard at work improving on the core of what makes the game compelling. Community members who have seen glimpses of the game in the past can expect to see substantial improvements and modernization to the game mode and game loop, but with the same design philosophy, mechanics and heart at the core of NMRiH2. We expect to announce our partnership with the development team we’ve joined forces with in the new year, as well. Our focus is on using this announcement to help make the most noise possible and bring more survivors into the community. It’s a competitive market for attention and we want this game to make big waves! Thanks for being on this journey with us. We want this game to genuinely earn your attention and time. We’re so excited to show you more and to release the best zombie game ever made in 2024!
