Hello Survivors!



Since the holidays ended, we've been hunkering down and working on all things Outbreak: Shades of Horror! We wanted to come up for air and give you all a quick update on what we've been up to!

First, thank you to everyone who has played the Steam & Xbox Series X|S versions of the game, spread the word, and given us feedback! We are thrilled that everyone is playing and enjoying the ongoing Winter Wonderland and DINOBREAK crossover content! We will continue to update and improve the game based on player feedback.

Speaking of seasonal content, we're hard at work on the next seasonal event, which is coming this Spring! Once we're a little closer to deployment, we'll have more information to share.

We're still finalizing timelines and specifics, but there's a lot of other stuff coming up! Here's a small preview on top of the aforementioned seasonal content...

You can expect news regarding cross-platform multiplayer in the next few weeks.

New DLC content is being planned for release down the line.

Work continues on the PlayStation 5 version of the game. We'll share more details as we approach Spring!

Progress on Story Mode remains steady. This is another area we'll be talking more about in the Spring!



We want to take this time to thank everyone for their support and patience as we've continued to build out Outbreak: Shades of Horror. Game development is no easy task, and with a game as cutting edge as Shades of Horror that includes a large amount of content, features, and supported platforms, it's certainly challenging as a small indie team to craft.

We're extremely excited for you all to enjoy what we've been working so hard on, so we humbly ask for a little more time before we share and release our next wave of zombie-slaying mayhem.

Until next time, take care Survivors!
