Decayed
A new post-apocalyptic title, Decayed, is on the way to us to give us another sense on why we need to slay the Decayed humans
If there is one thing that the undead have on lock, it is that they keep coming back in new ways, which is what we have going down for Decayed. This would be the new title that is on the way to the PC from LiquidBullet Studios, which will place us into a new post-apocalyptic world where we'll need to face off with more of the undead out there. Along with all of that, just survival in general in the world of Decayed, with that being part of the core gameplay loop as it all sounds with the announcement teaser that has been placed out there in our own hellscape of a world. Let's now see if this new world that is falling will be worth saving, or just another fun romp out there to slay more of the undead that populate all of our video games.
The teaser that is given here for Decayed doesn't show off much of what to expect in the game. The few gameplay screenshots don't add much to it all either. What we do have to go on, though, is that this will be an open-world title where we'll be playing as a Green Beret who was around as the world fell. We are going to need to take all of that training to head out into the world, so we can fortify and craft various things, while also surviving the harshness that the undead now present in the world. It does sound as if Decayed will add in a bit of dynamic weather and other things to keep things feeling fresh as we go, but that's just based on the text and not anything we can see in the following teaser to let us know that a game is coming. Have a look and see if it is going to be something you're keeping your eyes open for when everything progresses just a little further.
Decayed — Teaser
Decayed is an open-world post-apocalyptic single-player survival game.
Taking the place of a Green Beret, you will single-handedly witness the world fall, following the events of a failed search and rescue mission. Barely making it out with your life, you will witness pure chaos unfold as you soon find yourself within an undead hellscape.
- Fight The Undead: Choose your own battles. Come out weapons blazing, using your tactical skills and wits to make your way through the undead, or hunker down and protect an area, standing your ground.
- Open World: Explore the world with absolute freedom. Stay in the city and loot buildings, homes, or bases for powerful items, or stay secluded in a forest, with the decreased abundance of threats. There are zero restrictions by missions or NPCs. You are your own commander now.
- Fortify And Craft: Fortify your post, and craft medical, lethal, or useful tools that you will use to defend yourself or fight with. You have more than just the dead to worry about.
- Dynamic Seasons: Experience the hardships of changing weather and seasons, from freezing temperatures and scarce amounts of food in the winter, to a warm summer evening, with a higher abundance of the dead roaming the streets. You must adapt to these changes to survive.
Do you have any further thoughts about Decayed after seeing all of the above? Does it feel as if this one could push the genre type forward for the community? How much of the game will be focused on crafting, and how much on the combat? Will it all be generic undead beings, or could we see some other horrors come out of all of this, too? Let's hear it all out in the comment section down the page here. When and if there is more to share for Decayed, we'll definitely add it to the site or any of our socials. Given how little is known and how long it might take for the team to give us something, we might be waiting a bit longer. As long as you are watching all our stuff, though, you'll see it as soon as we are able to share it with the world.
