Tarkov rival delays early access launch to dodge "heavy hitters"

There is a deluge of tactical extraction shooters flooding Steam right now, but at least Level Zero Extraction is moving away from the typical milsim aesthetic and throwing a bunch of freaky aliens at you instead. However, if you were planning to jump into the game on day one when it launches in Steam Early Access in August, you'll have to ever so slightly change your plans, as the developers have pushed the launch back in order to avoid some rival "heavy hitters."

An Update on the Early Access Release Date: We're Launching on August 13th

Hey, everybody,


[h3]Important news on the Early Access release date.[/h3]

If you follow the video game industry news, you may be aware that plenty of huge game updates and alpha tests were announced for August 6th—the date we at Doghowl had previously scheduled our Early Access launch for. With this in mind, our team decided to give the game one more week so we don't clash with those heavy hitters!

[h2]The new Early Access release date for Level Zero: Extraction is:

August 13th, 2024.[/h2]

Moving to the new date won't affect the rollout preparations. Apart from that, we're thrilled to share some exciting news with our community today.

[h3]1. A new Developer Podcast episode is out.[/h3]
In Dev Podcast №3, we discussed what the game will look like at launch, including a second map set on an alien planet, AI enemies, and weapons. Check it out.

[h3]2. New Keyart Reveal![/h3]
While our team is getting ready, we thought we'd update our key art to show you all exactly what to expect from Level Zero: Extraction. Just make sure to bring your flashlights. 🔦



[h3]3. New Music Tracks + Interview with our Composer on Discord[/h3]
Alex Yarmak, the guy behind the riff-driven LZ:E Main Theme, will be joining us on our official Discord for an interview next week on Friday, August 2nd, at 18:00 CET / 12 pm ET / 9 am PT. We will also reveal two new banger tracks via a Discord radio bot. Click the image below to join the server and get notified about this event:

Level Zero Extraction is a tactical FPS with aliens and it's out soon

Extraction shooters are already fairly tense affairs, where one wrong move can mean you're dead. Other players and NPCs all signal your imminent demise. So when one extraction shooter decided to up the tension with aliens and a horror theme, my heart froze in terrible anticipation. Level Zero: Extraction is doing just that, dripping in sci-fi horror and inhuman enemies, and it just got its Steam Early Access launch date.
