The new video includes real gameplay showing different areas of the game map as well as dilapidated post-apocalyptic structures and underground relics. You can also explore a range of different climates and terrains, crawling with aberrant monsters and the Great Ones. And further updates, including more extreme weather, a larger world, and more terrifying monsters are all still in the works for the official launch.
