Zombie MMORPG Dead Maze officially launches on February 13

Get ready for a new kind of zombie apocalypse on February 13, 2018, when the free-to-play isometric MMORPG Dead Maze releases on Steam.

Coming from French developer Atelier 801, whose major claim to fame is the worldwide success Transformice, Dead Maze is a colorful yet gritty survival MMO set in the Western United States, right after humanity was devastated by a plague of the undead. Player cooperation and scavenging takes center stage, as players have to work together to survive, create their own houses and defeat any zombies that cross their paths.

The official launch of Dead Maze comes with a new game mode called The Raid, where you must survive infinite waves of enemies. The game is also available in English and seven other languages: French, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, German, Polish, Spanish and Turkish. You can see our Dead Maze gameplay first look to know what we think of the game.

Here are some key features from Dead Maze:

• Cooperation is key: in this game with no player versus player combat, you have to work together to explore high-risk, high-reward instances in a ravaged modern world. Scavenge for resources, craft life-saving supplies and fight off the ever-present hordes of infected.

• Face not only the undead, but also hunger, thirst, injuries and diseases. Ration your food and drinks, and monitor your health carefully through the in-depth survival mechanics.

• Establish your camp and build and furnish your own home with the help of others. Plant seeds and tend to your vegetable gardens or breed cattle to gain access to extra food sources such as milk.

• Watch out: the infected work together using an advanced AI design and will gather together before attacking. They come in many different shapes and sizes, from violently exploding infected capable of attracting even more undead, to bosses able to project more infected towards you.

• From kitchen knives to old undergarments, use any of the 500+ items to defend yourself and defeat the hordes of infected.

• Choose and change which archetype to play at any time thanks to versatile skills, gear and scavenged items, from being a healer supporting others, to DPS or powerful tank.

• A compelling story and strong cast of supporting characters will guide you at launch across a dozen different locations and 22 major quests. The mission to survive doesn’t end there, as the story will continue to be expanded after the official launch of Dead Maze with new missions and chapters.

• Much more content to be added after launch, including the upcoming map editor which allows you to create your own adventures, play through them with your friends, and share them with the whole community.
