Outbreak: Shades of Horror launches today at an initial price point of $29.99 USD. Please note that international pricing may vary. The Early Access launch version of the game includes the following:
Modern Survival Horror: Find and manage resources, engage in modern gunplay and melee combat, build contraptions and defenses, and much more as you do battle with the scourge of the night. Quickly switch between third and first-person views at the push of a button to hunt the undead the way you please! All of the game’s content is available both offline in single-player and in online co-op over the network. Password-locked lobbies and in-game text chat are both supported in online co-op play.
Cypress Reel: This expansive hub world serves as a gateway to the content of
Outbreak: Shades of Horror. Join a lobby, switch between available Survivors, get acclimated to the game’s controls and weapons, redeem and customize clothing and cosmetics, and access core game modes in both offline in single-player and in online co-op over the network.
Raid Mode: Save civilians and make it to the extraction point in this action-packed gauntlet. Defeat enemies to find important weapons, ammo, and items, but don’t take too long; as you spend more time in one of many maps, enemies become stronger and deadlier.
Invasion Mode: The undead are closing in on your position, and you need to defend the innocent denizens of Cypress Ridge! Fortify your defenses with buildable traps, turrets, and stations before hordes of zombies come to ruin your day. Make sure you protect your Furos generators, or else you’ll find yourself without the resources to stay alive as the action ramps up. Enjoy unique modifiers that keep the experience fresh every round!
Mini-Games: In between matches, hang out in the Cypress Reel Arcade to enjoy a host of frenetic mini-games! Can you survive the Boss Rush gauntlet? Will you be able to skip a creepy rural town in Looming Dread? Test your reflexes as you escape a flooding subway tunnel in Collapse! Experience a taste of the chaos plaguing Cypress Ridge in Main Street Retro. While short and sweet, these mini-games will put your skills through drills! Plus – with adjustable difficulties, there are always new challenges to face.
Chromatic Split: Enhanced Edition: Enjoy the classic three act prequel to the main game, now enhanced with new weapons, items, and mechanics. Can Lydia get essential information from her contact in the Cypress Ridge underground before it’s too late?
Trials of Hank: While Lydia is traversing the underground in
Chromatic Split, fan-favorite Hank hits the rooftops in this over-the-top side campaign where the answers to all of life’s problems are lead, explosions, and more lead! Will Hank complete his mission, or will the monsters that haunt the Cypress Ridge skyline be too much for him to handle?
Photo Mode: Access a rich set of tools and controls to take frighteningly beautiful snapshots of your adventures at any time. Offline, the action will pause so you can stage detailed scenes and scout your surroundings, whereas online the action will continue so your co-op partners don’t suddenly find themselves unable to play. Film at your own risk!
Twelve Unique Playable Characters: Choose between a diverse cast of playable Survivors with different classes, abilities, stats, and loadouts. When playing as any character in any mode, your progress levels up that character and also helps complete challenges. You’ll earn XP, Ferret Tickets, new items and weapons, and other surprises as you play more and more!
Plenty of Unlockable Content: As players progress and level up their characters, they’ll find ways to unlock all kinds of customizations: earn shirts, glasses, hats, weapon skins, and even whole outfits. Once unlocked, any cosmetic can be used with any playable character in any combination; the possibilities are endless!
Challenges and Events: Seasonal and game-crossover events begin immediately with a Halloween celebration and
DINOBREAK-themed content and cosmetics. Players can enjoy fun decorations in the theater, thrilling seasonal maps, special challenges to complete, and unique rewards to earn. In addition, test your mettle with Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Lifetime challenges.
That’s a fleshy feast of content. Purchasing
Outbreak: Shades of Horror during Early Access will entitle you to future updates such as additional content for existing modes, new seasonal events and game-crossovers, and
Story Mode once it’s available.
Alongside the game’s launch, we also have two premium DLC packs available for purchase.
DINOBREAK Crossover Character Pack DLC: Mary and F.S.G. join your playable character roster ready to chew up the zombie plague. Play as, customize, and level up these two fan-favorite characters who originally appeared in
Outbreak: Contagious Memories and
DINOBREAK. This DLC is available for $4.99 USD. International pricing may vary.
Pure Gold Weapon Skin DLC: Next to diamonds, gold is a girl’s best friend. Equip each of your weapons with this dazzling gold weapon skin to really SLAY the undead in style. This DLC is available for $1.99 USD. International pricing may vary.
