As Earth grapples with a global catastrophe, the battle for survival intensifies, with over 400,000 players demonstrating their readiness to confront the terrifying virus in the Infection Free Zone demo and prologue. Jutsu Games and Games Operators announce that the conflict between survivors and infected will soon escalate to new heights as Infection Free Zone gears up for Early Access on Steam, set to launch on April 11th.
The origin of the virus remains shrouded in mystery, but its rapid spread across the planet strikes fear into the hearts of humanity. Infected individuals lose control, succumbing to an unstoppable madness that drives them relentlessly toward the last remaining survivors. Players, as humanity’s last hope, must establish the titular Infection Free Zone. As leaders of a group fighting for survival, they must build and lead a base that lays the groundwork for a new civilization amidst the chaos.
Check out the Early Access release date trailer below:
The location of the Infection Free Zone is entirely in the hands of players, who can select any city worldwide using real-world data from OpenStreetMap. Whether it’s the bustling streets of New York, the sunny beaches of Miami, the romantic alleys of Paris, or any other city imaginable, players have the power to transform it into a battleground. The game replicates each city’s topography, including roads and buildings, allowing players to strategize effectively based on their knowledge of the terrain.
Infection Free Zone combines elements of post-apocalyptic strategy and city rebuilding. Humanity, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, must adapt to a harsh new reality. Commanders must make decisive decisions, repurposing existing structures into shelters and factories, establishing farms, and fortifying defenses with walls, gates, and towers. Scavenging resources from the remnants of civilization is crucial for survival, but players must remain vigilant, as the infected are not the only threat lurking in the shadows.
Key features of Infection Free Zone include:
- Creating an Infection Free Zone in any city worldwide using OpenStreetMap data.
- Utilizing knowledge of the city’s topography to defend the base effectively.
- Defending against relentless waves of infected enemies using various weapons and traps.
- Focusing on rebuilding civilization and increasing the chances of survival.
- Balancing trust and caution as other survivors may pose both threats and opportunities.
- Early Access provides an opportunity for players to contribute to the game’s development and shape its final form.
Infection Free Zone will be available in Early Access on Steam from April 11th, offering players a chance to dive into a unique strategic survival experience. Interested players can add the game to their wishlist now to join the fight for the future of civilization.
